Fresh from triumphant runs at the Toronto and San Francisco Fringe Festivals comes new scenes, songs and stories from the cluttered mind of a modern-day satirist. Using a mosaic of monologues, comedy and music, it's a saga of an energetic actor who is always in the wrong place at the wrong time, wearing the wrong suit and tie.

"They think I'm stupid and I like it." Actor Judy Holliday had a genius-level IQ but was notorious for playing dumb blond characters. During the McCarthy era, Holliday was suspected of having Communist ties. Laura Harris portrays Holliday's efforts to protect her career and remain truthful as she testifies before the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee.

Delores wants love: and with the support of Best Friend Tom and Fictional Dick, she's determined to hunt it down. Break its wiry neck. Stitch its skin into a sweet pair of boots. Thigh-highs. Contains puppets. And musical numbers. Oh my. Directed by Ian Case, featuring Amanda Lisman, Rod Peter Jr., Michael Delamont and Morgan Cranny.

Kevin wants to stage a solo show, but cannot get out of his bedroom. He performs, pajama-clad, for an imaginary audience. His monologue subjects include: bargain shopping for abortion clinics, chastising the comatose, hijacking funerals for "spiritual DNA" and sleeping with your students while drinking alone. "Extremely funny and utterly magnetic" GCN (Dublin). "Has the necessary charisma." THE SCOTSMAN (Edinburgh).

Have you ever been embarrassed by your dysfunctional family? Abby's family is on the road to surprise her and she must warn the man she loves about life in surburban Winnipeg with tales that kept the neighbours entertained and the police on speed dial. Comedian and storyteller Allison Lane has been described as a "young Carol Burnett" as she takes the audience on a true life story of her family which would put The Fockers to shame.
