The Ivory Tower Power Hour

The Ivory Tower Power Hour is a subversive one-woman comedy about higher education in late capitalism. Audience members become faculty-judges, voting on professors hustling for funding through dance, wellness grifts, and delightfully deranged humour within a live performance setting.

Sexy Fringe Show

Amazing story and wonderfully designed characters. As an audience member, it felt comfortable to be a small part of the story.

The actress and her two assistants were gorgeous! Enjoy a show with lots of surprising, funny, and edgy elements.

A silly show about a serious subject, the harmful, money obsessed anti educational corporate take over education. In its silliness it still manages to hit corporate greed with a sledge hammer.

As a Fringe rule any performer who appears in underwear deserves to be seen.

Laughed So Hard I Cried

A madcap, zany romp through the dank annals of the modern academy. This one-woman show is a hoot! Prepare to laugh, cry and hurl.

This is a fun show, high energy one woman performance with plenty of quirky socio-political humour and a krill puppet.

Not My Cup of Tea

Skip this one. A improbable plot setting. Wooden delivery by an actor who forgets her own lines. Bizarre movements that are a poor excuse for choreography. A thin critique of academia and its corporate connections. Screen graphics poorly timed and with 1980's tech. There's much better stuff out there.

Ten-tickles My Fancy

Smart, fun, and hilarious. Impressive multi-character clown work by Heather. The ideas and messages were strung together in a brilliant way through a wonderfully absurdist form.

Ten-tickles My Fancy

Absolutely bonkers (complimentary). This show is the perfect combination of absurdity and intellect. It's sexy, stupid, and really gets you thinking about what's in our waters, who's funding what research, and how do we get more funding for erotic poetry about Big Foot?

This show made me laugh so hard!! The performer Heather plays multiple characters so vocally and physically distinct from each other that I could have been convinced they were separate actors.

Underneath all the comedy there's a genuine and timely message that ties it all together.

Also...worth it just to lay your eyes on CEO Brenda.
