Fringe Festival Plans
Posted by Skrud at Wednesday, June 7th 2006 at 1:47am
The Montreal Fringe is always one of my favourite festivals. Ever since I saw the One Man Star Wars Trilogy a couple of years ago, I’ve been hooked. Here are the shows I’m planning on checking out this year, and the times. Feel free to join in!
- Jem Rolls Off the tongue is considered “performance poetry”. I saw Jem Rolls perform at my first fringe experience, and it was amazing. He not only tells poetry, but acts it out. It’s not nearly as artsy-fartsy as that sounds, and it’s pretty damn awesome. Update: We’re back to seeing Jem Rolls Monday, June 12th (that’s tonight!) at 6pm.
- Uncalled For 4: For Forever!. Uncalled For is always my favourite of the Fringe. This improv group is ridiculously funny, and I certainly won’t miss the opportunity to see them again. (Monday, June 12th @ 8pm - Subscribe with Google Calendar)
- My German Father. I don’t know much about this one, except that it’s based on a Just For Laughs act, and looks like it’s going to be hilarious. Harley pointed it out, so we’re going. (Thursday, June 15th @ 9pm - Subscribe with Google Calendar)
- The Sketchersons: Sunday Night Live On Tour! looks like another excellent improv comedy show. I’ve never seen nor heard of this group before, but that’s no reason not to check it out. Unfortunately the timing is a little tough to work out (11:45pm to 1am on a Thursday night) but that’s not going to stop us! (Thursday, June 15th @ 11:45pm - Subscribe with Google Calendar)
If you can only make it to one Fringe show, the choice is easy: Uncalled For. You can read my ravings on last year’s show if you’re not convinced.
i love how you made uncalled for’s press page. it must be nice to be famous. i hope you realize that now you can make up words and get them included in the oxford english dictionary because they appeared in print…gotta love the english language.
WTF Skrud.. WTF!
I’m just waiting for you to make millions off of an advertising deal now. That’s it… I want a cut :)
yeah i was taken back by the advertising too.
that and you didn’t even mention it in a post, did you think we wouldn’t notice????
Just experimenting … it looks too big and fugly, though.
But hey, hosting doesn’t pay for itself (unless I try to put a few ads). I think this one is too obtrusive. Maybe a sidebar ad?
yeah maybe a side bar add might less obtrusive, or possibly at the bottom of the page (of course people might not scroll down all the way)
