A lyrical evocation of the joys and possibilities of language.
A comedic routine on how the age-old battle between the generations is now being won hands down by the old. Who are employing the trumpiest trump card at their disposal – their unprecedented capacity to destroy the planet the young will inherit.
Whoops, sorry son…well you should’ve been nicer…
One Minute Canada – The longest tongue-twister in Canadian History, or rather Geography – a sixty second verbal surge across Canada from East to West.
A comic London tale of Jem’s worst birthday present ever.
Amoral Tale – A short blasted rant on how a voraciously Machiavellian battler up the slippery slope soon finds himself condemned to the bottom.
Jem Rolls returns with a motorised charge into the glories of language. For his 9th Toronto since 2001. Jem’s first Canadian Fringe was Toronto and his life was certainly never the same again. And much much the better for it.
Young Jesters’ WATER set to make a splash at FringeKids this July!
Performers from across Canada and abroad come together for this riveting show that is sure to thrill kids and adults alike!
Live music! Puppets! Masks! Dance! And the Young Jesters’ unique brand of audience interaction!
First created in Evian, France (a water town if there ever was one!) and further developed and performed at the Royal Ontario Museum in tandem with their 2011 Water Exhibition, Water, written by Lauren Spring and performed by the Young Jesters, has since been touring to elementary schools in the Greater Toronto Area.
The company, which consists of performers haling from across Canada and abroad, is excited to bring their show (which includes live flute, cello and percussion music, puppets, dance and the Young Jesters’ own unique form of audience interaction) to family audiences in downtown Toronto!
Let Tony Ho help you work through the inevitable sadness in your life. Fresh off its success at the Toronto Sketch Comedy Festival, the troupe is back with a brand-new work of cathartic hilarity, tailored specifically to the Fringe experience.
Bringing together the best of theatre with the best in sketch comedy, Sad People explores the mental illness, depression and general sadness that surrounds our lives – in an unexpected, hilarious format that is one part performance art, one part support group. And with different special guests with new material each night, every performance is a unique therapeutic experience.
Ten Foot Pole Theatre goes RAW at the Toronto Fringe
“Theatrical rabble-rouser” Rob Salerno returns with a shocking, darkly comic drama about HIV and justice
Sex, justice, trust, and vengeance collide in Ten Foot Pole Theatre’s latest assault on the polite and gentle, RAW by Rob Salerno.
Salerno and Toronto newcomer Jason R. Stroud play Stephen and James, two young gay men who meet at a bathhouse and have a hot, steamy, sexual encounter without a condom. But what Stephen doesn’t tell James is that he’s been recently diagnosed as HIV-positive.
(Already regarded by some as the best title for a Fringe show in years.)
Meet Kimberley White-White. She’s a very nice girl and she likes to run. Watch this Manitoban as she runs right across Canada and straight into Parliament. Then gasp as she and her bad Daddy, and her chutney-loving husband Todd, run from Sussex Drive right to the very top, higher than any Canadian has ever gone before. Priscilla Yakielashek performs a fast-paced satirical farce from Fringe favorite Jem Rolls.
*President White-White’s team might finesse an interview into her tight schedule. But don’t mention Kimmy’s Alaskan Campaign Fiasco. If Alaska isn’t Canada, what’s it doing there?
