Tickets are on sale for my upcoming show at the Winnipeg Fringe
@winnipegfringe.bsky.social
. Please note that the show is in two parts (i.e., it's really two shows), but you can see both or just one, or in the wrong order, or (but this makes me sad) neither.

For the third year in a row, I will have the pleasure of doing a show at the fabulous On the Edge Fringe in North Bay, Ontario. This year, it's a brand new piece about trying to carve out a bit of physical space in the world we live in now. The festival runs August 6 to 10.
