Risa and I have had the chance to cover a lot more then just the Fringe this year.

A CBC darling and Montreal native, Katz launched his CD More Nights at Club Lambi last June as a Montreal Fringe special event. I was there and remember the evening very fondly; Peter is a great performer and casts a [...]
