Does This Monologue Make Me Look Fat?

by Amy Salloway

The creator of 2006’s sell-out hit “So Kiss Me Already, Herschel Gertz!” is back, with a roller-coaster confessional of perfect siblings, wanna-be lesbians, oughta-be boyfriends…and one single spherical girl’s eternal search to find where she fits. “Smart, funny, fearlessly candid” – The Georgia Straight. “A MUST-SEE – endlessly clever and accessible” – CityBeat. And from the Minneapolis Star-Tribune: “An ‘A’ for chutzpah!”

Rebel Without a Niche

by Kurt Fitzpatrick

“Kurt Fitzpatrick is one hell of a sketch comedian.” - See Magazine. The most awkward dead-end jobs anyone’s ever worked, injected with a high-octane cocktail of drollness! We’ve all been there. We’ve met waves of creepy/doldrums/smiles-too-much types of people. Kurt roasts them all, along with a killer bit with a jelly donut.

What Goes Around…

Adapted from La Ronde by Arthur Schnitzler (author behind Eyes Wide Shut), What Goes Around… delves into the under-the-covers world of human lust.
