Long time Fringe attendee and volunteer. You’ll also find me at the Jazz and Push festivals, as well as theatre, dance, and live music around Vancouver.
No matter HOW far you travel in the future, dating never gets easier. This always funny duo delivers a mix of prepared and improvised manic insanity. Go see!
This is a woman with a powerful engaging singing voice that I would happily pay to hear perform in a club gig. Light, silly premise that allowed you play along with the pitfalls of first dates, combined with inventive song improvisation based on audience feedback. Oddly cathartic finale that was unexpected. Well recommended.
Wonderful merging of live improvisational jazz/soul and tap dancing where the interaction between musicians and dancers is a playful game of “call & answer”, as is the interaction between the four dancers themselves. The tapping is exceptional, but make no mistake, it does NOT come at the expense of the dance. A second act (because a rest WOULD be essential) in a stand alone run would be exhilarating! GO SEE! p.s. the brief, very informative backstory to the performance at the beginning was most appreciated. ❤️
REALLY well-performed one person show WITH the participation of a couple of audience members. (Sit further back? 😉). They examine their journey into becoming a pole dance performer and instructor, with humour and AMAZING skills. The “cheeky” bantering with the patrons was delightful as was the sexy teasing. Be prepared for all the hooting and hollering that this performance elicits! Worth attending!!!
REALLY enjoyed “Bangs, Bobs, & Banter” at the Vancouver Fringe Festival. Engaging one person show, full of humour and proper cringe worthy moments in their recollection of clients. Worth seeing!
Staged in the wonderfully intimate (and tasty) Off The Tracks café, it was an intimate and occasionally bawdy one woman’s story of a trip to Ireland. With digressions. MANY delightful digressions. The joy of self discovery through serendipitous encounters with “Murphy’s Law” (Murphy’s opportunity?) at times funny, awkward, heartbreaking and finally heartwarming. GO SEE THIS.
Well written, well acted show about emotional and financial manipulation of artists going through a really difficult period. Not warm and fuzzy, but an accurate representation of SOME people in artist management. Worth the see.
