After SOLD-OUT runs across Canada in 2024 & 2025 British comedian and storyteller Jimmy Hogg (The Potato King) returns to the Edmonton Fringe with a NEW SHOW. ★★★★★ “A fantastically engaging performer, sort of like if Ricky Gervais had more energy.” -Edmonton Journal ★★★★★ “Hogg is a raconteur of the finest order, his mile-a-minute-delivery — think an amped-up John Oliver—tumbling out as he paces the stage. His vignettes are so rich with detail, you can practically smell them.” -Winnipeg Free Press ★★★★★ “He's got a wickedly rapid, sometimes bitterly sharp, delivery.” -CBC ★★★★★ “Expertly written and performed” -CRITIC’S PICK, The Toronto Star ★★★★★ “Hogg is a fantastically engaging performer, sort of like if Ricky Gervais had more energy, and he weaves all his stories with brilliantly vivid descriptions and razor-sharp humour.” -Edmonton Journal ★★★★★ “Part Rik Mayall, Eric Idle, Eddie Izzard—hysterically tangential.” -Now Toronto ★★★★★ “Telling really funny stories is what Hogg does best. If you want to know how to take ordinary life and turn it into theatre, this guy is a master.” -Orlando Sentinel ★★★★★ “Jimmy Hogg is a master. He is blissfully, bracingly unafraid of transgression, which is the driving force of so much comedy. And he finesses his work with a deep understanding of the rich satisfactions of story structure and surprise.” -Colin Thomas Plain Language Description When he was nineteen, Jimmy Hogg wanted nothing more than to be cool. He thought being cool would get him a girlfriend, which it did. MASHED is the story of a young man hitchhiking across England to see a girl, and trying to figure out who he is a long the way. Now a professional comedian and storyteller Jimmy Hogg looks back on the man he was, the man he is now, and how he got here.

Une production de Vincent Leblanc-Beaudoin en association avec DopoLavoro Teatrale Le Concierge est une pièce de théâtre immersive co-créée par Daniele Bartolini et Vincent Leblanc-Beaudoin et est conçue pour un maximum de 20 spectateurs par représentation. Ces derniers suivent un concierge dans un parcours déambulatoire à travers une école et comme une volée de petits oiseaux, ils observent le travail de ce col bleu. Au début du spectacle, c'est son travail rigoureux, ses tâches ingrates et son isolement qui sont mis en valeur. Il nettoie les toilettes. Il passe la vadrouille. Tout est fait soigneusement, minutieusement et fièrement. Plus la nuit avance, plus l'expérience passe du naturalisme à l’onirique et nous plongeons ensemble dans sa solitude cauchemardesque et ses états d’âme. Sans paroles, l’œuvre laisse libre cours à l’interprétation et à l’imagination de chaque membre du public. Ce faisant, le concierge devient symbolique et mythologique. Tout comme Sisyphe, notre protagoniste fait lui aussi un travail absurde, répétitif et interminable. Il devient une allégorie de la condition humaine. Mise en scène : Daniele BartoliniDistribution : Vincent Leblanc-Beaudoin

Dans le tumulte du Rond-point Victoire à Kinshasa, quatre personnages issus de la rue voient leurs destins se croiser. Pasi, ancien diplômé universitaire devenu vendeur ambulant, reste croyant malgré l’exclusion. Tembe, cireur désabusé par la guerre et la pauvreté, doute de Dieu. Bobo star, artiste de rue au regard ironique et lucide, cherche un sens à la vie. Jasmukette, jeune femme marquée par une enfance brisée, lutte pour préserver sa dignité. À travers des échanges mêlant humour, émotion et réflexion, ces personnages s’interrogent sur l’origine du malheur humain : Dieu, la société ou les hommes eux-mêmes ? En dévoilant leurs parcours façonnés par la violence, la misère et l’exclusion, Qui est coupable ? donne une voix aux oubliés de la rue et invite le public à réfléchir sur la responsabilité collective, la justice, la foi et la solidarité.
