Regina of Light Fires
Do I Have To Do Everything My F**king Self?—Son Of Warehouse
With the voice of a shady angel and a body made for breaking hearts, Regina delivers anthems from the alleyways and sets the nights ablaze.
She skewers the room with her sharp tongue and heels, then picks you up and teaches you, how to feel.
By her beauty and the beat, you are hers for the taking, she parades into your embrace while your nerves leave you shaking.
Regina is a celebration of love.
Regina is a celebration of the night.
Regina is what you’ve been missing in your life.

3….2….1—Playhouse Studio
3…2…1 is a riveting play about Clint and Kyle, two young men from Wetaskiwin, Alberta, who skip their best friend Danny’s funeral and lock themselves in a garage with several cases of beer, some Jack Daniels, a cornucopia of pharmaceuticals and broken dreams. And they’re not coming out until everything’s been drunk, popped, shot up and smoked – with an ending that will blow you away.
3…2…1 is a raw, violent and sometimes funny examination of life, religion, love, friendship and homophobia.

Trampoline—Playhouse Studio
JENNY AWARD winning Australian Shane Adamczak (ZACK ADAMS) returns to the Fringe with a brand new work about a daydreamer who meets the girl of his dreams. Trampoline is a bizarre take on the traditional boy-meets-girl romcom story featuring Adamczak, Fringe newcomer Whitney Richards and Sound & Fury’s Patrick Hercamp. Fringe audiences will laugh, cry and be perplexed by Adamczak’s dancing to Kenny G. Oh, and at one point a character gets attacked by monkeys.

Teddy Bears and Tidal Waves— Son of Warehouse
Teddy Bears and Tidal Waves is the story of a girl who wants to be a bear. Despite the innocent title, this is NOT A KIDS’ SHOW. There are fun, quirky parts, and hot, sexy parts. And you might not always know which are which. There are puppets, both of the adorable and slightly disturbing varieties. There is live music. There is a girl, struggling with loneliness, insecurity, bullies, alcohol, sexuality, gender expression, and liking Miley Cyrus.

Barely Living—MTYP Mainstage
Finally the romantic comedy/zombie musical you’ve been waiting for. Slackers and slapstick and succubi, oh my. Discounts and prizes for those coming attired as the undead. Get yourself down to The Forks and tap your toes to songs more catchy than a viral outbreak.

Leland Klassen: Are My Hands Too Big?—RRC
Leland Klassen’s Are My Hands Too Big? one-man show is more than just stand-up comedy. Leland Klassen, who is an award winning stand-up comedian with plenty of television credits including, Netflix, Just For Laughs, CBC television and the Comedy Network, brings something a little bit different than what he’s used to.

Oh yeah, and it’s killer funny too!
