Sorry it’s been a while between drinks folks!

Since our return for the 2015 TRAMPOLINE Canadian Tour, I’ve written, produced and directed a BRAND NEW SHOW! THE BALLAD OF FRANK ALLEN opened this week to sold our houses, ★★★★★ reviews and nice nomination for Best Theatre Show at the 2016 Fringe World Festival. Needless to say, I’m on top of the world that my new baby (being raised by myself and my fellow Weeping Spooner, St John Cowcher) has been so well received.

The new Weeping Spooners are doing a great job helping me usher in the new year with some exciting new projects too, big things ahead including 2 shows touring Canada later in the year! But next stop, THE ADELAIDE FRINGE! With both TRAMPOLINE and FRANK ALLEN at the mighty Tuxedo Cat. Tickets on sale now! Please come check them out if you’re in that neck of the woods!

It’s a been a crazy few weeks getting the new cast of Trampoline ready to go in Montreal, but I for one am super excited about the results and now it’s OPENING WEEK! Advanced tickets on sale HERE right now!

In the mean time check out some of the interviews/articles written so far plus be listening to Upstage on CKUT on Thursday around 6:00pm and to Daybreak on CBC Friday morning for more interviews about the show!
