September 25 - Lorne Elliott at Showplace
LORNE ELLIOTT: THE UPSIDE OF THE DOWNTURN
Saturday September 25th, 2010 8PM TICKETS: $35 Adult
A Showplace Presents Performance! THE UPSIDE OF THE DOWNTURN
After 11 Seasons as Host of CBC Radio Comedy program "Madly Off In All Directions" LORNE ELLIOTT continues to tour his one-man concert performance: an ever-changing selection of humorous stories and funny songs of his own creation. He promises comedic mayhem and superbly silly performance art suitable for the whole family.
Canadian born, LORNE ELLIOTT has performed from Newfoundland to New York City, from Los Angeles to Australia and points in between. Lorne started performing in 1974 as a folk musician in East Coast Canada. At the same time he kept writing fiction as well as songs, monologues and one-liners. The outcome of such a training is a very special show of comedy and music, totally original, entertaining, up-lifting and foolish enough to make everybody laugh. Along with his unique and wacky performance style, it is the timelessness of his material, joined with keen observations of today's trends that make LORNE ELLIOTT's work so special. He has made regular appearances at the Montreal Just For Laughs Festival since it started in 1986: each time his segments were selected for TV Specials, thanks to their universal quality. In Canada and the U.S. he has appeared on numerous talk shows and Variety shows, and now, once again, on the Showplace stage!

by ROY MacSKIMMING

Laurier in Love reveals Sir Wilfrid Laurier as Canadians have never known him:

A gifted, inspiring and wildly popular Prime Minister,
Laurier is equally devoted to his quiet, faithful wife Zoë and his ambitious, charismatic lover Émilie Lavergne.
Roy MacSkimming tells the story through the eyes of these remarkably realized women—friends who are also rivals for Laurier’s heart.
Both must contend with the dark contradictions in his nature
as he professes to be committed to each of them while uniting a divided nation.
