Happy
Feet 2 One man, one mystery, no clue.
Written and performed by Chris Gibbs
WINNER – Just For Laughs BEST COMEDY Award – Montreal Fringe 2009
Saturday, February 18 /2012 at 7:30pm
It is 1896. Barnaby Gibbs, incurable optimist and Sherlock Holmes fan, is checking on a friend's empty house when he finds a man in the bedroom, dressed entirely in black, holding a bag full of stolen belongings, and trying to write a poem about sapphires. There is only one conclusion a reasonable man could come to: that this is the notorious cat-burglar and con-man known as the Rhyming Bandit who has been robbing Victorian England blind.
Fortunately, Gibbs is not a reasonable man, and when the stranger tells him that he is actually the famous detective Antoine Feval a new crime-fighting duo is born…
Written and performed by British stand up comedian Chris Gibbs, this one man comic tour-de-force introduces us to Barnaby Gibbs - a kind-hearted but thoroughly dim-witted and clueless young Englishman who inadvertently becomes the Dr. Watson-like sidekick to brilliant detective Antoine Feval, not realizing that his new partner is actually the master thief who’s been robbing the city blind. Good guy Barnaby eagerly recounts his adventures in a story full of twists, turns, and gadzooks moments!
ANTOINE FEVAL has played to sold-out audiences across Canada, in New Zealand, New Mexico and Massachusetts and was a Best of the Fest winner at the Edmonton Fringe and won the Just For Laugh Best Comedy Award at the 2009 Montreal Fringe.
Chris Gibbs is a writer, stand-up comedian and actor based in Toronto. His other one-man shows include ‘Gibberish’ and ‘The Power of Ignorance’. He’s also the co-author of ‘The Power of Ignorance: 14 Steps To Using Your Ignorance’ self-help book. www.chrisgibbs.ca
CHRIS GIBBS: Biography
Chris Gibbs is a stand-up comedian, improviser, writer and actor based in
Toronto. Born in the UK, he started working as a street performer in London 's
Covent Garden in 1991. A year later he co-founded the theatre group
HOOPAL, whose innovative physical comedy shows toured through Europe,
Australia, New Zealand and best of all, Canada. Chris moved to Canada
permanently in the summer of 2002, immediately touring with his one-man stand-up
show, GIBBERISH. The following year he co-wrote his second
one-man show, a mock motivational seminar called THE POWER OF IGNORANCE,
with TJ Dawe.
In 2005 Chris moved further away from straight stand-up with ANTOINE FEVAL, a one-man play telling the story of Victorian England's most overlooked detective. The show won ‘Best of the Fest' at the Winnipeg Fringe Festival and was held over at the Edmonton Fringe.
Aside from producing his own theatre shows Chris has found time to branch out into film work, including the lead role in the Canadian feature RUN ROBOT RUN.
Chris has also co-written THE POWER OF IGNORANCE: 14 STEPS TO USING YOUR IGNORANCE, a self-help spoof based on the show.

Delhi
2
Dublin
Friday, February 24 /2012
at 7:30pm
A Wildly Contemporary High Energy Blend of Celtic and Punjabi
Music
Delhi
2 Dublin continues to break the mold with the release of its new genre-busting
album, Planet Electric, on May 4th 2010. It’s as if the band has been sent on a
mission to further spread their sound across the planet and out into the galaxy.
They describe Planet Electric “as the buzz of the world that they are plugging
into some large socket to electrify the people, to charge up their energy”. To
capture that dynamism, all of the tracks on the album were road-tested in front
of live audiences before being recorded. Something else the band did differently
from the last album was going on a writers’ retreat where they worked on the
music day and night for ten days straight. The results are definitely more
representative of Delhi 2 Dublin as a band and a noticeable progression. The
icing on the cake was being able to get Diamond “DJ Swami” Duggal (Apache
Indian/Maxi Priest/Nusrat Fateh Ali) to mix the tracks.
Hour Magazine wrote that “Delhi 2 Dublin is the United Nations of rock ‘n’ roll”. The Vancouver, Canada-based band plays an energetic mash-up of Bhangra, Celtic, Dub, Reggae and Electronica with global rhythms and club beats. Tarun Nayar, Sanjay Seran, Andrew Kim and Ravi Binning, along with guest musicians Jaron Freeman-Fox and Sara Fitzpatrick, are diverse in both their backgrounds and musical influences. The band has been together almost five years and has released three albums including its latest, Planet Electric. The album title is apt because the six musicians feel that they plug directly into the world’s music and energy.
A live collaboration put together in 2006 as a one-off performance piece for a club night in Vancouver called Delhi to Dublin was so well-received that requests for additional performances led to the official formation of Delhi 2 Dublin. “Not being able to fit into any specific genre allows the band to create whatever we like and not be judged for it. Our audience expects nothing less.” The band finds this advantageous for their live show as it enables them to create a flow to their sets much like a DJ would for the dance floor. “Audiences love to see a band transcending stereotypes and letting the music speak for itself”.
The Delhi 2 Dublin crew are road warriors. They have played major festivals in both Canada and the U.S. including Bumbershoot in Seattle, Earthdance in California, High Sierra in California, Stern Grove in San Francisco as well as such diverse events as SXSW in Austin, the Keelung City Ghost Festival in Taiwan and the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. The band has an ambitious schedule planned for 2011 starting off with a handful of dates throughout the US, as well as expanding horizons to include performances in the Pacific Rim and Europe. In addition, on April 26th, they will be releasing Planet: Electrified, a remix album of the tracks from Planet Electric along with some specially recorded new songs. A new line-up, a new album and new international touring opportunities all signal that originality and evolution are all part of the Delhi 2 Dublin experience. They have become one of Canada’s most buzzed-about bands and 2011 will only see them enhancing that reputation. After all, where else are you going to see kick ass fiddle players rocking out with a kilt-wearing Korean flanked by two bouncing Bhangra percussionists and a vocalist who looks like he would be at home in a Bollywood music video? www.delhi2dublin.com

Music of the Louisiana Hayride

SHOW 3
Saturday,
February 25 /2012
at 7:30pm
If you enjoyed show one and two you will love show three.
ELVIS PRESLEY, JOHNNY CASH, ROY ORBISON, PATSY CLINE, HANK WILLIAMS and more.
After 40 performances and 14 sold-out
shows in the Interior of British Columbia, Okanagan/Shuswap and Alberta the
Louisiana Hayride Live Radio Show will be rolling into your town complete with
the Louisiana Hayride set, live singers and band. It’s
hard to find this classic music anywhere and it’s really
hit home with those who have seen the show. The memories bring laughter, tears
and joy.
The Louisiana Hayride was a live radio show, broadcast over KWKH Radio in
Shreveport, Louisiana and ran successfully from 1948 to 1960. It was
instrumental in establishing the careers of such artists as Hank Williams, Elvis
Presley and Johnny Cash and because of that, earned the nickname ‘The
Cradle of the Stars’. The list of artists who performed
at the Hayride is impressive and in addition to Williams, Presley and Cash, also
featured Patsy Cline, Jim Reeves, Marty Robbins, Roy Orbison and many others.
This live music extravaganza written and produced by Lori Risling and performed
with live singers and band, re-creates the ambiance of those early days. The
show features over 25 songs made famous by such artists as Hank
Williams, Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, Jim Reeves, Jerry Lee Lewis,
Ferlin Husky, Patsy Cline, Don Gibson, Ernest Tubb and more.
The Louisiana Hayride cast consists of an incredibly talented group of
musicians. William Brookfield, on double keyboard, guitar, banjo and
vocals is a composer and producer and toured as pianist for Long John Baldry.
Gil Risling, on electric and acoustic guitar, bass guitar and vocals has
been a musician most of his life and won a scholarship to the Banff School of
Fine Arts where he studied voice training under the world-renowned Dr. Ernesto
Vinci of the Royal Conservatory and Paul Schoffler of the Vienna State Opera
Company. Mike Melnichuk on stand-up double bass, electric guitar and
vocals has been touring Canada and the U.S. for years, making music from about
the time the Louisiana Hayride started! Andrea Anderson, with her uncanny
vocal resemblance to Patsy Cline was the National Anthem singer for the
Phoenix Coyotes, Arizona Diamondbacks and Chicago Cubs. Once back in Canada,
she won the 2004 Okanagan Idol contest and has performed at the Merritt
Mountain Music Festival. Patrick Ryley, the EZRock Morning Host and
Assistant Program Director toured across Canada for three decades, singing,
dancing and acting. With his striking resemblance to Hank Williams, he
has quickly become a crowd favourite. Adam Fitzpatrick, the new young Elvis
Won the World Elvis Amateur Division in 2008. He performed in Vancouver at
the PNE’s Elvis Tribute and has toured many places around
British Columbia. He looks, sings and acts like the young Elvis of the 50’s
60’s. If you loved Elvis you will love Adam. Lori
Risling wrote a syndicated country music column for 10 years and has
interviewed countless country music artists including Shania Twain, Vince
Gill, Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson, Dwight Yoakam and Johnny Cash.
The Louisiana Hayride will delight you from start to finish as you go
back in history with the cast of the show and relive Hank Williams’
early years and learn about Elvis’
frustration at being a rejected 19 year old singer. Discover
when the phrase “Elvis has left the building”
was first spoken. Find out why Roy Orbison wore dark
glasses . All this incredible information and more! The Louisiana Hayride will
take you back in time as you listen to those familiar tunes and hear the great
stories in this extraordinary production. You will love the songs….you
will love the stories….
