  Alistair Cook's improv fest takes the form well beyond 15-minute sketches.
  ...
  If you're doing long-form improvâ€"the style of performance that Alistair Cook is bringing to the Vancouver International Improv Festivalâ€"you're taking a much bigger risk.Long-form improvisations last at least 15 minutes and can go on for more than an hour.You'd better not suck.
  
  This is the ninth year that Cook has produced the festival, which runs Tuesday (October 7) to October 11 at the Roundhouse Performance Centre and the New Revue Stage.Interviewed in the living room of his house off Main Street, Cook says, "I don't want to say that improvisation should be going one way or the other, but we normally showcase long-form because there's not as much of it in Vancouver."
  
  Besides filling his duties at the improv festival, which he has run since 2000, Cook is the artistic director of the experimental improv company !nstant Theatre, and he's a performer with the Vancouver TheatreSports League.
  
  Despite his insistence that he loves all kinds of improvisation, he clearly has a gourmet's preference for the long-form style.
  ...
  According to Cook, this troupe starts with a suggestion from the audience, "then they'll do a collage of six monologues in six different characters, and then that turns into a bunch of scenes.
