A Look at Visual Fringe – 2016 Toronto Fringe Festival

While you’re busy checking out show after show at the Toronto Fringe (check out our writers’ top picks, and our reviews of every show), don’t forget to stop by the Fringe Club (the last time in the alley behind Honest Ed’s! So sad!) for great beer, great food, a water bottle refill, and to satiate your shopping bug. Visual Fringe, which take up the white tents in the Fringe Club, are full of works from amazing local artisans that you can purchase and take home right on the spot.

This year’s Visual Fringe features Chained Creativity by Michelle Dawn Proirier, Scotch/Rye by Stephanie Ward, Psycho Shark Club by James Taylor, Happy Your Heart by Anna Tai, and the artwork of Biljana K Carter among others.

Check under the cut for more photos.

Let’s Travel in Time (My Theatre Company) 2016 Toronto Fringe Review

Photo from Let's Travel in Time provided by the company.

Let’s Travel in Time, currently playing at the Fringe Club, is an unabashed parody of that special subsection in science fiction where an over-confident time traveler and his exasperated companion goes on adventures together throughout time and space. This production may be messy, irreverent, and ridiculous, but it is also one of the most hilarious experiences I’ve had at Fringe so far.

Fringe for Free! Toronto Fringe Ticket Giveaways for Shows on Wednesday, July 6th!

Fringe For Free GraphicGood evening, people of Fringe! This is a special late-night edition of Fringe for Free, or — as we call it internally — the “someone forgot he had contests to post and wound up in a 14-hour rehearsal, didn’t he” edition. To commemorate this special occasion, we’ll be holding these contests open an extra few hours, so they close at 11:00 PM instead of the usual 7:00.

But beyond that, it’s the same as always: five hot shows, free tickets to each, and all you need to do to win is send us an email. Enter one, enter all five, tell your friends, and see some theatre!
