UW Improv
UW Improv makes everything up completely on the spot... and that's exactly the point. Improv is all about working as a team to create a new story and a new world, based on suggestions from our fabulous audience. No two performances are ever the same!

Tri-City Roller Derby Showoff
We are a skater-run, flat-track roller derby league based out of Waterloo Region, Ontario. As of December, 2010 we are also a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association.
For more than five years now, we've been taking the track by storm, facing off against teams from across Canada and the U.S. As our new season approaches, we're gearing up for an even bigger and better year with more bouts, more skaters and more kick ass derby action!
Roller Derby is one of the fastest growing sports worldwide, combining a unique mix of athletics, creativity and comradery. There are established leagues in nearly every major city in Canada including London, Hamilton, Edmonton, Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal.

The Ragged Suits
The Ragged Suits is a three-piece band from Waterloo. Their sound is a combinnation of the raggedness of 70's rock and punk music along with a well tailored sound and soul of the blues.
The Hep Cat 7 Swing Jazz Band
The swing jazz band started as a few members of the jazz dance and music community gettinger together to jam weekly but has grown into much more. The band formed in April 2013 and now focuses on studying and playing swing jazz and blues music for dancers.

Community Couch
In the hustle and bustle of daily life, we often forget the people around us. How often do you strike up a conversation with someone in line at the grocery store, or say hello to someone you pass on the street? The people around us might be strangers, but they all have stories to tell and contributions to make to our lives, if only we’d offer them space in which to do so. The Community Couch brings people together to share moments. That’s it. And it could be wonderful, awkward or just something new.
Chips for Tips
Bread Baron will be busking with a suitcase drumset on King St. and offering bags of vegetable chips as a snack for a PWYC (pay what you can) donation.

Errol Starr Francis (A Peace Troubadour)
A conscious diverse crossing of culture, acoustic, danceable, devotional, divine, funky, rocking, hippie reggae stylings. Plenty of pleasing sounds, all with a peaceful loving vibration.
