We encourage you to take a look through our index of reviews and share your thoughts on the shows you’ve seen or the shows you plan on seeing.

Shirley Gnome: Taking it Up the Notch

7 pm on July 10th at the Factory Theatre Studio (125 Bathurst St)

This internationally acclaimed multi-award winner delivers smart, explicit, dark, uninhibited and silly songs about sex and human nature. Heralded as the ‘queen troubadour of intelligent black comic sex balladry” (Edmonton Journal), this is her Toronto Fringe debut. She was recently signed to 604 Records, Canada’s largest independent record label. You may have heard her on Dan Savage’s wildly popular podcast The Savage Lovecast. See for yourself – if you’re up for it. Not for the prudish or faint of heart. You’ve been warned! ★★★★★ ‘Simply Brilliant’ – 3 Weeks, Edinburgh Fringe ★★★★ ‘Hilarious’ -CBC.

Delirium

8:30 pm on July 10th at the Tarragon Mainspace (30 Bridgman Ave)

In what The Winnipeg Free Press calls “a deliriously good show,” Dockery tells the true story of looking for meaning in the mysterious connection between love and death. Equally comical and heartbreaking, Delirium takes us from a Toronto airport to the Nevada desert, and from a Brooklyn apartment to the Mexican redoubt of the Monarch Butterfly, telling a story of both falling in love and falling apart. “Shout-it-from-the-rooftop acclaim for Delirium! A beautifully written, deftly performed, bruisingly intimate outing that offers humour and an emotional punch.” –Fresno Bee. “A master storyteller… (on a) powerful journey.” –CBC.
