Psssst.... Tale Spin #21 is coming up!

The 21st edition of DeAnne Smith's Tale Spin is taking place this Thursday, October 28 starting at 8:30pm. I will be telling tales about "Spilling Secrets" with Dan Bingham, Kyle MacDonald, Andrea Stanford, and Tim Rabnett. The evening will be hosted by the DeAnne Smith. Old school story-telling infused with comedic sensibilities. 


Great value for only $5. Takes place at Cagibi, 5490 St. Laurent.

Happengläd's New Hat #4

Happengläd's New Hat is a monthly New Work Salon, hosted by the ever-labouring lady of laughs  DeAnne Smith. It's a chance for Montrealers to watch local performers "try things out." If you are familiar with the concept of creativity, trying things out is very, very important. However, things tried are not always perfect or particularly refined. At other times they are truly magical. You don't know until it's tried, honestly. And that's half the fun (I'm not sure what the other half is - but I believe it has something to do with the cheap refreshments available at the theatre). 

I'll be participating this month in my first attempt at what I'm calling a "public service announcement" of sorts. I have a few of these percolating, this will be the first public execution of one. This one has a decidedly light tone - it deals with murder, hospital visits and dogs. Come, watch - and let me know what I can do to improve on this sort of thing.    

Tuesday September 28, 8pm - only $5 tiny loonies, 264 St. Catherine Est, near Berri Metro. 

Tale Spin #18: Worry.

Thursday June 24th, 2010 I'll be telling tales around the theme of 'worry' with the likes of Dan Bingham, Gerard Harris, Michael Lifshitz, and Anna Berlyn. It should be a good time - especially as the whole event is organized and hosted by the charming and hilarious DeAnne Smith - and with any luck she'll break out the ukulele. The event takes place at Cagibi (5490 St. Laurent), starts at 8:30pm and runs until about 10:30. All these yarns for less than a decent alcoholic beverage - $5.

Tale Spin - Story Telling Event

 

Thursday January 28th at 8:30pm, I'm going to be telling stories as part of DeAnne Smith's kinda monthly story telling event "Tale Spin." This will be my first time sharing my stories publicly, so it should be interesting. I plan to share a few tales involving dogs and hairstyles, but not dog hairstyles. It might also be the last time for a few months to see DeAnne perform, as she's heading south for a few months of touring down-under. $5 tiny dollars at le Cagibi.
