Summary:
An awkward man child seeks refuge in a salon run by an angry Italian man. He has one simple request. Turn me into a man. The Man on My Face is a comedic look at what makes a man and the power of a really good mustache.
About the Show:
In creating the show, the team wanted to develop a piece that embodies everything that is great about the Fringe. The show features a unique environment in the form of a working salon; new talent (writer Neil Cameron), Fringe regulars (directors Patrice Goodman & Nicole Stamp) and established comedic talent (Torquil Colbo). The Man on My Face will offer audiences a unique perspective into what makes a man and the opportunity to see the Patron Saint Marco in the flesh (the patron saint of masculinity).
