BOCCHE FRESCHE (FRESH MOUTHS)-A Celebration of Italian Canadian Stand-up

BOCCHE FRESCHE (or “Fresh Mouths”) is a comedy festival celebrating the most refreshing new voices in Italian Canadian stand-up comedy.

We premiered the show at Settimana Italiana in Montreal in the summer of 2010, and then at the Royal Cinema in Toronto this past December.

On February 5th, 2012, we are proud to bring the show to Staircase Theater in Hamilton!

Come laugh at first and second generation stories that we can all relate to.

SHIELDS JOHNSTON FIELDING featuring Ruth Pytka-Jones

Shields Johnston Fielding Trio offers mature writing:  layers of texture, time and harmony that never overshadow beautifully structured and accessible melodies.

Listeners will experience both new ideas and simple joy in the music and performance.

Johnston provides a beautiful sound and groove to support Shields’ harmonic textures and melodic lyricism.  Fielding shows sensitivity and effortless timekeeping in this setting.  We are somehow transported to a new and interesting place before we know it.

Tickets $10

These ‘needs’ span from, “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up (because I’m soooo drunk)” to what you see on the news.  ”Hilarious”, says EYE WEEKLY and NOW.  Check it out, you’ll see why The Emergency Monologues was chosen as The Audience Choice for Toronto’s SummerWorks Theatre Festival.
