On the Fringe


SEPTEMBER 9TH, 2010

On the Fringe

TiVo those season premieres, it’s time to feast on Fringe.

Packed with local colour and colourful language, this year’s festival boasts a platter of 80 acts that push buttons and tickle the funny bone. On our list is Raunch: The Rise of Female Chauvinist Pigs. Riding a wave of raves in Edmonton and Winnipeg, this romp conceived by two Calgarians brings to life author Ariel Levy’s critique of modern feminism.

To even out the estrogen, we’re seeing Stretch Dogs, a one man show written and performed by a Vancouver actor about the art of selling out when you’ve got mouths to feed.

Bon appétit to two weeks of theatre à la carte.
