Meet the troupes
Fist Time
Montreal, QC
Isaac Kessler and Dan Jeannotte are veterans of the Canadian comedy scene, with a combined 49 years of improv experience between them, and a combined weight of 395 pounds. Isaac won the Oustanding Clown Show award at the 2026 Montreal Fringe, for his piece 1-Man No-Show. Dan was nominated for a 2026 Canadian Screen Award for Guest Performance in a Comedy, for the Netflix hit North of North. But when the two come together, they put aside all the accolades and awards, and they do what they were born to do: make art with their fists. Their improvised comedy is unpredictable, physical, free-flowing and totally joyful. FIST TIME!
