The Players











Owen | Lauren | Jason | Mandy
The Kinkonauts are in improvisational theatre troupe in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. They were sprung from the loins of two Calgarian improv duos: Rock Awesome (comprised of Lauren Cochrane and Mandy Sellers) and The Patriarchy (comprised of Owen Chan and Jason Lewis) in early 2007. We got our start performing in competitions hosted by the Curiously Canadian Improv Guild and moved on to hosting our own shows in early 2007.
