CRUMBS battles Winter

CRUMBS is in Vancouver! Come and see us be CRUMBS here.

Hey, want to know some CRUMBS history? Okay, the first show that CRUMBS ever did as a duo was way back in 1998 in Vancouver in the Vancouver Little Theatre. We then became a permanent duo show after shedding a member (becoming slimmer really looked good on us). Here we are back in Vancouver... 15-16 years later doing a show.

Meanwhile, last week in Winnipeg... CRUMBS was a trio again for a night.

Here is a picture of CRUMBS backstage with Kevin McDonald (The Kids in the Hall was a TV show in the 90's). We did in fact have a great time performing together. It was the closing show of the Winnipeg IF... Improv Festival and it was great to play with our friend Kevin. The duo was a trio and it worked out quite well. Then we went back to being a duo again.

Speaking of shows...

CRUMBS is playing a show at the King's Head Pub as part of the COMEDY KNIGHTS comedy series that happens for free every Tuesday night at 9pm upstairs of the King's Head.

We then continue to offer up improv genius and hilarity every other Tuesday at the King's Head. But really, you should go to the King's Head every Tuesday for the FREE comedy.

See y'all there!

What's that? You are interested in WORKSHOPS? What's that? You're wondering how I can hear you ask questions through the internet and how I can write the answers down here?

Well, I will answer your workshop question. Stephen Sim is teaching a workshop series for writers:

UNBLOCK: Improv as a Means of Defeating Writers Block

The workshop is a collaboration between the Manitoba Association of Playwrights and the Winnipeg IF... Improv Festival.

Here is the LINK for more details.

Speaking of winter... it's coming and CRUMBS just cannot seem to burn enough raw crude oil to stop it.

Sorry folks, we live in Winnipeg, we have winter.

CRUMBS and the Winnipeg IF... Improv Festival!

The summer sets like the sun and the autumn falls upon us like a warm blanket.
-a poem

The fall means several things:
-We "fall back" and screw with our clocks.
-We launch the theatre season and comedy season and improv season of shows.
-We get excited about the 15th Annual Winnipeg IF... Improv Festival

CRUMBS has always worked at spreading improv across Canada and the world. We've toured our show and taught our master classes in so many cities and to so many people. CRUMBS has also grown improv here at home in Winnipeg. One of the ways we do that is by bringing improv players and improv ideas right here to our hometown.

The 15th Annual Winnipeg IF... Improv Festival is one of the best times to bring all these players and ideas and shows and workshops and parties together... I suppose that is what a festival really is.

This year CRUMBS is excited about doing a full show with Kevin McDonald (The Kids In The Hall). This show is sure to become legendary and everyone should probably get their Tickets NOW to ensure you are among the hundreds left without tickets huddled around the doors to try and catch a glimpse.

CRUMBS away and at home

Just because CRUMBS are now away in the land of Europe spreading the good word of improv and theatre and comedy to all the Europeans doesn't mean there isn't important things happening back at home in Winnipeg. Oh no, quite the opposite.

101.5 UMFM is having their 2nd annual Pledge-O-Rama to raise funds to keep supplying Winnipeg and the world with top quality radio. Radio that just happens to include a weekly dose of CRUMBS. For almost 10 years CRUMBS have been producing and airing a live radio show on Mondays. When CRUMBS are actually in Winnipeg, you can hear them live on Mondays at 5pm on 101.5 UMFM.

You love your ears, you love listening to things. Why not put your money where your ears are and support local independent radio.

The King's Head is still your home of amazingly hilariously awesome comedy shows. Every Tuesday there is a FREE comedy show upstairs at the King's Head Pub. The show starts at 9pm and rotates between improv and stand-up comedy and improv and comedy comedy. So much comedy.

While CRUMBS is away, Outside Joke is at the King's Head making sure the improv still gets "made up".

Outside Joke also has other improv fish to fry... can I say that? Can I say "other improv fish to fry"? What I mean to say is that Outside Joke is also producing a season of shows at the Gas Station Arts Centre including a series of workshops.

So until we see each other again, either on the road somewhere in Europe, or on the airwaves of UMFM or at the King's Head Pub laughing it up, keep being cool.
