With a capital AWE. Those of you who have been a fan of The 404s over the years will know that we've done some pretty cool improv at AN - it's one of our favorite conventions to return to. You've laughed with us at our performances, and cheered when we used your suggestions in our improvised comedy scenes. This year, we're back - and with some very special guests in tow. You're invited to the biggest 404s improv comedy shows in the history of anime improv! The 404s have been performing our anime-flavored improv games at events around Canada for almost a decade now, and thanks to Anime North we'll be busting your gut with laughter, and busting at the seams with improvisors - 12 of us to be exact. We're bringing in The 404s' westside cast from Alberta for a weekend of improv insanity, and with this many comedians in the same room, you're sure to be laughing until someone's cosplay falls apart. Check out the cast! Top Row: Ian, Dany, Mark, Big Mike, Ryan Middle Row: Little Mike, Aaron Bottom Row: Dan Tim, Jon, JJ, Beej Bigger poster here! SHOWTIMES: Friday - 5:00-6:30pm - Mississauga Room Our classic Weekend Warmup show! Get ready for the weekend events with anime fandom's most experienced improv team. Your suggestions will be used to create a completely improvised comedy show, and our performers will be inviting some of you to jump in on the hilarity. An all-ages show! Saturday - 7:00-9:00pm - Mississauga Room It's the Saturday Special, and a completely new show! Join us again for more games, more laughs, and more improvised fun with an anime twist. But don't go too far when we're done, because the biggest show is yet to come! Saturday - 11:00pm-???? - DoubletreePlaza Room (RIGHT AFTER THE COSPLAY) Our famous Late Nite show is back with a promotion to the main room! All of The 404s will be present for this show, where we let our hair down a little - among things, quite possibly. Be sure to stick around after the cosplay for this hysterical show, where we will use improv games elimination-style and the performers will compete for the ultimate improv prize! Note that this show is rated "Mature", and we may start earlier than 11:00pm - just drop in after the cosplay and we'll get started when we can! Sunday - 3:00pm-???? - DoubletreePlaza Room (RIGHT AFTER THE CHARITY AUCTION) We're back in the big room for the Weekend Windup. Don't you think we're slowing down on Sunday - oh, no! We'll be playing some new games with repeats of your favorites, and with your suggestions we'll have a brand new show! Just hang around the charity auction when they're finishing up and we'll take over to finish off your Anime North with laughter. See you there! A HUGE thanks goes out to the staff and volunteers of Anime North, who have been very gracious to invite our "brothers in comedy" to Toronto for this no-holds-barred improv event. We'll be celebrating this megashow all weekend long... Come join in the fun! www.the404s.com -- Mark Nguyen - Producer / Host The 404s - Improv Comedy Group www.the404s.com

Thanks to everyone who once more packed the rooms! This is to let you know that The 404s have put a whole schwack of new videos up on YouTube, including the COMPLETE SHOWS we did on Saturday! The Anime North performances were so darn good overall, we decided to share the whole thing online this time. The Saturday Night Improv Faceoff (SNIF): http://www.youtube.com/vi..._list?p=C147AF6918F712AD The 404s face off, team style! The group divides into two teams which challenge each other to play improv games through the show. May the better (named) team survive! The Anime Improv Extreme Elimination Extravagganza (AIEEE): http://www.youtube.com/vi..._list?p=613E0E967AE94EB5 Twelve performers compete against each other! The audience eliminates the improvisors until there is only one left, who wins... A cheap plastic trophy. This was our first year performing this show at Anime North, and it was epic beyond belief! Guest host: Irulanne! There are plenty of other 404s videos on the site, including a few from our other shows at AN this year and in previous years. Check 'em out, and let us know what you think, on YouTube, onour Facebook group, via Twitter, or right here on the forums! The 404s MAIN WEBSITE Our YOUTUBE SITE - now with many videos from Anime North 2009!
