ImproVision: Cardboard Robot…—Duke of Kent Legion

Forget about our show; come to the Duke of Kent Legion!

Seriously, y’all: this great place deserves your love before, after and during the Fringe. They welcomed us with open arms (and bar!) for 2 Fringes because they believe in contributing to the neighbourhood (us saying “keep the bar open during our show,” didn’t hurt).

Post-Fringe, meat draws are Fridays, friendly faces and the area’s cheapest beer are every day.

Uh, you don’t have to forget about our show, though.

Dance Naked Productions

Lust & Marriage—Son Of Warehouse

You know those late night conversations you have with friends about what it would be like to have an open marriage? Lust & Marriage is like a window into someone else’s life/relationship.

Dance Naked Productions has been making shows about sex for the last 10 years (maybe you saw Inviting Desire? We won a Jenny for that one!). Our shows are smart and funny and real. They inspire thought and conversation. You’ll love this show. Trust me.

Kathleen Denny

Nice Is Not What We Do…—Planetarium

It’s a funeral, with dark humour aplenty. You meet the deceased, who liked to boast, “I don’t get high blood pressure. I give it to other people!”

He charmed most of the world far better than his own family. You spend time with Kathleen and her family, who come right out and say things that Other People might keep to themselves. Even if raised by rabid penguins, this show might shift how you think about your own family.

Best Bitts Productions

Stories of Love and Passion—Eckhardt-Gramatté

Almost BANNED in Saskatchewan and protested by a pastor, too!!

Recently hauled off stage during a bit questioning Saskatchewan’s laws, Bitts knows controversy.

“I don’t plan to be heavy-hitting or subversive, but it seems to end up that way.”

Stories of Love and Passion isn’t just a controversial show, it’s filled with love, heartbreak, and sexuality. If you want titillation, uncomfortable subjects, a reason to cry, and to laugh uncontrollably, this is the show.

Plus the singing and striptease ain’t bad!

James Jordan

Vaudevillian—WECC Acu Hall

James Jordan fell in love with vaudeville as a young boy watching The Muppet Show. The music and comedy combined with magic, juggling and the death-defying stunts from Gonzo the Great enchanted and inspired the young hyperactive boy.

Two circus schools, 3 theatre companies and a lifetime of street performance later, he was finally ready to step onto the boards to be the vaudevillian he always wanted to be.

Bad news—Vaudeville has been dead for 50 years. The only way to reach his life-long dream was to create his own one-man Vaudeville variety revue.

Georama—Son of Warehouse:

From the mind of Jackie Torrens, Gemini-nominated screenwriter for TV’s The Trailer Park Boys, comes Georama, a compelling story of two best friends who make a life-changing discovery that threatens their life-long friendship.

Unable to resolve the situation themselves, they face off in a “friendly” debate in a theatre full of strangers, but it’s hard to win a debate against someone who knows about the time you peed your pants at the bank…

Wonderheads

LOON— Warehouse

Eleven time Best of Fest winners and mask imagineers, the WONDERHEADS are back with their whimsical and wordless love story, LOON.

Francis is a lonely bachelor looking for love but he can’t seem to find it through earthly means. Instead, he falls in love with the moon…but can the moon bring him the happiness he is searching for? Fans of Pixar, Jim Henson, and Triplets of Belleville will love this multi-award winning show.
