WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 3rd, 7:30 PM at the Harbourfront Theatre
All Seats: $32.00 tax & fees included

“They came from far and wide and with enormous expectations. He wasn’t about to let them down – ‘Ladies and gentlemen I shall now stop the rotation of the earth for three full seconds!’”

The one and only Dr. Professor Kubínek is a COMIC GENIUS, VIRTUOSO VAUDEVILLIAN, and all-around charmer who gives audiences an utterly joyous experience they’ll remember for a lifetime.

His latest creation, TOMÁŠ KUBÍNEK – MIRACLE MAN, is a rip-roaring revival of strong-man stunts, couples-counseling, snake-healings, and mass-hypnosis that leaves audiences dazed, beaming and in love with life once again.

Age Advisory: 8 to 108
Please note that due to the focused nature of this performance this program is not recommended for young children.

“Masterfully played comedy…that secret mixture of daring, talent, and utter foolishness…” Santa Fe Reporter

“Hilarious and enormously talented.” TimeOut, London

“The audience sits transfixed, gleefully awaiting each new moment of mad brilliance.” Badische Zeitung, Germany

Four Tellers Telling It All

September 7 – 9 → The Four Tellers

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After three years of playing to packed houses in theatres across the Island The Four Tellers return to Victoria  with their latest storytelling show called
The Last Laugh.

As in previous years the show is comprised, for the most part, of four friends and master-storytellers, Denny King, Gary Evans, Alan Buchanan and David Weale, sitting around a table swapping stories of the Island that invariably have the audience roaring with laughter, or sometimes, brushing aside a tear.

Also, woven into the storytelling are the sparkling musical  arrangements of Rachael Beck and Bennett Buell.

The unique charm of the Tellers is the spontaneous, unscripted quality of the show which allows the audience to feel they are right there, in the kitchen, as the stories roll out, one drawing the next, like tissues out of a box.

As one reviewer, Gordon Cobb, wrote: “Between the hoots and the hollers and the almost tears, there is the feeling in the theatre of being fully human. And fully alive. Catch it while you can.”

Created by six alumni of Quebec City Circus School in 2011, Flip FabriQue adopts a creative and collaborative approach to highlight each performer’s strengths, and create pure magic on stage. Their astonishing, lively show Catch Me will leave you smiling from ear to ear.

La compagnie fut créée en 2011 par des finissants de l’école de Cirque de Québec. La compagnie adopte une approche de création collaborative développée entièrement par ses artistes et leur metteur en scène. Cette approche a pour but de mettre en lumière toutes les forces et les qualités propres à chaque artiste – ce qui crée une ambiance réellement magique sur scène. Acrobaties, jonglerie, hula hoop, voltige aérienne, trampoline et autres fantaisies sont au programme. « À travers une panoplie de disciplines, on va essayer de donner du bonheur », a commenté Bruno Gagnon, qui est également directeur général et directeur artistique du collectif.
