Andrew Silverwood
This is a Ren Faire Pub Crawl that just happens to be one location. It isn’t a family show. It is a ‘how to make a family’ show. Bring your best filthy jokes, puns, poems, songs, pick-up lines, you name it. The audience gets to play along if they want and the best joke of the night walks away with a prize. Presented by Patrick Hercamp (Sound & Fury, Fakespeare) and London’s Andrew Silverwood, who is a critically acclaimed, award-winning, internationally touring comedian, Circus and Burlesque MC, actor and more. We don’t want to offend anyone unless they want to be offended. “You are a very naughty boy” – President Macron of France (Seriously.)
Hayden Maines
Alex, Kelly, Morgan, Hunter and Jamie are having the worst day of their lives, and now they have to save the whole world, too. When a car crash escalates into an emergency municipal evacuation, the worst coworkers in the world will have to put aside their grievances and learn what it truly means to work together as a team. With Hayden Maines playing all five roles at the same time, Emergency Ops features ventriloquism, rapid costume changes, real emergency management and enough jokes to bring down the fourth wall! “[Hayden] Maines has nailed the office archetypes.” – Jill Wilson, Winnipeg Free Press “…Hayden keeps an admirable amount of plates spinning in the air.” – Josh Fidelak, The Jenny Revue
Erika MacDonald
“DEFINITELY A MUST-SEE!. A tea party for your soul.” – LCT Review You’ll chant a lot, cry some and laugh more. Award-winning international artist Erika MacDonald (5 STARS – StarPhoenix, 5 STARS – Free Press, 5 STARS – Edmonton Sun) boils water and makes cup after cup of tea. You’ll whistle when the time comes. (You’ll know.) “A cross between Mr. Rogers and your wry, slightly chaotic best friend… HARD TO DESCRIBE, IMPOSSIBLE TO FORGET.” – The Sappy Critic It’s about tea! It’s about time! A THOUGHTFUL COMEDY brewed just for you. F**k off, I’m steeping

Emil Guillermo
What happens when a lifelong journalist stops chasing headlines and starts chasing his own life? In Emil Amok, 69: Less News, More Life, American Book Award-winning writer and former NPR host Emil Amok Guillermo delivers a hilarious and heartfelt one-man show about identity, family and the cost of living in a 24/7 news cycle. From newsroom absurdities to personal revelations—including a surprisingly philosophical avocado tree—Guillermo blends sharp satire with deeply human storytelling. This is comedy with perspective: a show that invites audiences to laugh, reflect and maybe even breathe a little easier.
Jon Bennett
“My penis hurts.” That was the very first thing Jon’s dad said to him upon his return home to Australia after 14 years of nomadic touring: “My penis hurts.” AMERICAN’T is renowned comedic storyteller Jon Bennett’s (Fire in the Meth Lab) latest show, chronicling his wild and chaotic attempt to navigate being stranded in the United States when the pandemic hit. Bennett eventually found himself forced back to rural South Australia, living once again with his conservative, religious and eccentric family. After more than a year trapped with his family, Bennett managed a trip back to the US, only to be arrested upon arrival. PATRON’S PICK AWARD WINNER (Orlando Fringe, 2024) “A triumph” – Broadway World 5 STARS “Exceptionally entertaining” – Fringe Feed Director: Jon Bennett Artistic Team: Nicole Alton
