Wish Experience
The Waffle House Daze—The Cinematheque
Tom Waits if Tom Waits were… a 36 year old 5’2 blonde woman who doesn’t play any instruments.
“Raunchy” & “Brutally honest” storytelling!
You know her from The Beer Show, but The Waffle House Daze is Trish’s 3rd solo show, but the FIRST she has brought here! Come get saturated in the humidity and fats of southern living with words of decadence and wisdom, and possibly come out the other side feeling better about yourself and more hopeful for the world.
The Thing Is… Productions
2201: A Sex Odyssey—The Cinematheque
I thought after doing the beer show for 2 years in Winnipeg, it was time to take more of a risk! With the help of many collaborators over the past year, we bring you this new work: a dramatic fictional storytelling show set in the probable future when AI sex robots try to take over the world, featuring a special guest star. Will we survive?!
MTYP Summer Studio
Tumbling After—MTYP – Richardson Hall
With classic characters in less classic situations -this is a dark comedy where the fairytales aren’t the only thing to get fractured. Do you think you’ve heard this one before? Well we got wolf attacks, forced gnome labour, sex ed taught by a pirate, the Boogie Man, a serial killer and the moral is, sometimes life really does lead to and astonishing implosion. We just gave away the moral? Oh My Goose! But you should see it live onstage!
Bumble Bear Productions

“What begins as a fun little sci-fi bit quickly turns heavy and heartfelt… A beautiful, and hard thing to watch. You will never forget it.” – Grace Eccleston, Showbill Canada

Flight—John Hirsch Mainstage
The cactus had so much fun last year we had to come back! But to give things an extra kick, we’ve added brand new acrobatics, and the original Off-Broadway cast for the first time ever in Canada! If you missed us, what were you thinking?! (jk, it’s cool) Now you’ve got a second chance. Come check out an acrobatic cactus, a tiny girl prince, and a very confused (but surprisingly agile) pilot in our take on The Little Prince.

Bossy Flyer
TERMS & CONDITIONS—PTE – Colin Jackson Studio
You want funny? You want amazing? You want roommates who can’t get along?! We’ve got you covered! Terms & Conditions is our acrobatic take on The Odd Couple! With high-flying acro, silly prat falls, and passive aggressive double takes, T&C is your remedy for… well, we’re not quite sure. But people tell us they have a good time.
Winner 2018 San Diego Fringe Outstanding Physical Arts Award! Lots of critics say we’re impressive, come see for yourself. Bring a roomie.
Sizzle and Spark
Hushabye – A Doomsday Comedy—MTYP – Richardson Hall
Hushabye- A Doomsday Comedy: Official selection of the 2017 Canadian Clown Festival Tour (Montreal, Toronto & Edmonton).
Sizzle and Spark Fandango were birthed from the deepest fears and boundless desires of Jed Tomlinson and Jacqueline Russell. Created in the grand Canadian tradition of theatrical adult clown shows (Mump and Smoot, Morro and Jasp), HUSHABYE is a examination of the puzzling, hilarious mess we create when we are trapped by our illusions of how our lives are supposed to look.
Pulsive Party
Lip Service—MTC Up the Alley
“Perfectly executed” and “Unforgettable” – Apt 613
“Top-notch comic skills” – The Visitorium
“The audience was HOWLING” – Ottawa Tonight
Lip Service is a performance of two larger-than-life vulvas navigating their relationships to service, self-acceptance, and sexual empowerment within a hilarious world of doing, knowing, and being it all. Infused with clown, contemporary dance, pop music, and more puns than you’ll know what to do with, expect to be laughing uncontrollably and deeply moved by this portrayal of the female experience.
Lil Theatre Company
There Ain’t No More!—MTC Up the Alley
Making its Canadian premiere! 11 Festivals, 10 awards in the last year! Here’s what Cincinnati recently had to say…
“Carlisle turns the cliché of solo performance on its head. Hauntingly beautiful and stunningly enchanting, There Ain’t No More is a quest for enlightenment and immortality all at once. This production will stay with audiences long after the performance has ended.” – Cincinnati City Beat
Winner 2018 David C. Herriman Artists’ Pick Award.
