I don’t feel qualified to write tonight’s Foofarah. I didn’t even have the heart to capitalize the poor word just there. Shameful. And I had a theme prepared and everything, spilling out from my recent indulging in Grant Morrison’s amazing SUPERGODS original nonfiction novel. If you’re a fan of Grants or comic book superheroes in [...]

Rocking a bit of a deadline issue today…didn’t get this post up last nite due to sleepiness, and now I face a long day of drudgery with no end in sight, so if I want this review to be up before the next show, it has to be done now. As in, quarter to seven [...]
Monday Foofarah! – Spectacular Edition
That’s right, I said SPECTACULAR! Not that the Foofarah isn’t always something to amuse your friends and frighten your enemies with, naturally, but we’ve something special in store today. Exciting news, of a spectacular variety! More on this later. I have to soldier on, because I’m having trouble typing right now. So, first things first: [...]
Return of the Moon
Let’s take a little trip back in time, to explore some long-gone Ottawa lore, shall we? Picture this: it’s Saturday June 19th, 1999, closing in on 6 pm. You’re at opening day of the second ever Ottawa Fringe Festival, looking for a good show to hit up. You’ve already caught THE BOSNIAN BOYS and HITCHHIKING [...]
Monday Foofarah!
Yoinks! I think I may have bit off more than I can chew with this whole weekly FOOFARAH / Whatever thing I’ve assigned myself. I may literally not have ten minutes worth of things to talk at people about after only a week’s time. At least, that’s what it more often than not feels like [...]
the Piano Men
First of all, apologies for this one being so late, not that anyone’s been waiting on pins and needles for it (and if you have, stop it, you’ll hurt yourself). Still, I caught this show that I’m about to blather about back on Friday, and here we are in Monday (that’s Foofarah country!) and it’s [...]
Yonkered
Months ago, I went to my second ever audition, having taken a few months to slowly but surely get over the trauma that was my FIRST audition. Yes, I was ready to get back on that acting horse, and the new audition went purty well. I even made callback, and had lotsa good fun playing [...]
Monday Foofarah! – What number is this..?
I was at the Elmdale Tavern tonight, watching a particularly killer start to Crush Improv’s second year of ‘Bout Time adventures. hosted by Al Connors, the show featured improvisers extraordinaire such as Brad McNeil, Laura Hall, Dan Lajoie, Joel Garrow, Tim Anderson, and Desiree Connors (pardon, I don’t recall her married surname just now, but [...]
the Sparkling Lights of Laramie
Finally, new theatre! Okay, okay, I’ve already seen BIFURCATE ME and the Fools fundraiser this past week, but I’d already seen one at UNDERCURRENTS last year and the other wasn’t exactly a theatre show per se, so I was dutifully excited to scoot down to the SAW gallery last nite for something new, at least [...]
Alice, Queen of Fools
It’s a whole new Year, and that means it’s time to crown a new head fool! Or, at least, NOW I get that that’s an annual thing…I did not realize that a few days ago, when I first heard there was going to be another COMPANY OF FOOLS TWELFTH NIGHT CELEBRATION happening at the NAC [...]
