When Harry Met Harry is a one-man show that opened tonight to a large audience and a ton of Fringe buzz. Harry is a very tall Australian man who is obsessed with the particularities of his mundane printing job. The evening takes us on a journey through Harry’s re-discovery of his identity, an identity not defined by his occupation.
The protagonist is neurotic and paranoid that his subordinate, Bradley, might be after his more senior job. Attending a group workshop with an upbeat and undaunted interpersonal skills coach, Harry tries to survive the session without upsetting his boss, Mr. Herbert.
Written & performed by 3 time Canadian Comedy Award nominee Christel Bartelse
Dutch Girl Productions of Toronto presents CHAOTICA — the story of Alice in a whole other wonderland. Caught in an ever-shifting board game that wickedly transforms her into a different version of who she thinks she wants to be, Alice confronts her fears and desires in a desperate attempt to take control of her life. Fusing elements from nearly every comic tradition (sketch, stand-up, clown, satire and improv) CHAOTICA is a funny and touching play about remembering who we really are and what we really want. It has humour, heart and tap-dancing too!
