I must admit I was a bit wary to set out on my journey of seeing three fringe plays in a row. I had never been to more than one theatrical performance in a day and I fretted about how my body would react. Never one for being able to sit still for [...]

Just letting everyone know about the 5 year anniversary of this amazing dance event which happens at the Bain St. Michel every summer. If you’ve never came, this is the year to check it out. I won’t give away too much but there’s some live drumming, a piece with a choir and also [...]

I managed to grab 2 sweet clips from our show last night, the Indyish Mess at the Montreal Fringe 2009, so I figured I’d offer these to savour in the time between yesterdays live stream and the full edited video of the future.
Yesterday was a pretty amazing day. We gave away nearly 200 copies [...]

Heck to the yeah, I’m getting stoked about our Fringe Mess! I love doing our show with the joyful and dedicated crew who converge each year to make the Montreal edition of this worldwide indie theatre bonanza a community like no other. I can’t wait to see all the different shows in the Fringe Fest [...]

Indyish volunteers are known for their sexiness and ability to deliver the goods, I swear, that’s why wise folks like the Montreal Fringe want your help to make Fringe Festival number 19, June 11 to 21 2009, the kickassinist. ;)
Seriously, we learned a lot of what we know about how to be awesome and [...]
