CRUMBS ruins the holidays.

How does CRUMBS ruin the holidays? Actually, we have no idea, just thought it would make some sort of eye catching headline.

CRUMBS has a show on Tuesday, Dec 20th at the King's Head Pub as part of the ongoing (and 6th Season of) The Free Laughs Comedy Shows. These comedy shows have sparked a underground movement of comedy in Winnipeg. Now there are soooooo many live comedy shows to see, when 6 years ago there were barely any regular comedy nights. Oh how Winnipeg has grown, I would dare say that if the comedy scene hadn't turned around we wouldn't have gotten our NHL team back... Maybe I'm being too bold.

The CRUMBS show that is happening on Dec 20th is a CRUMBS & Friends show that will feature some amazing special guests. What special guests?

Mama Cuttsworth (who will be DJing for the show)

Mike Grajewski (Visiting all the way from Toronto)

RobYn Slade (Visiting all the way from Awesome and member of Outside Joke)

Tricia Cooper (Former member of the Royal Leichtenstein Theatre Company and current amazing woman)

Tobias Hughes (Yes, the famous actor and member of Outside Joke)

Gordon Tanner (Former member of the Royal Leichtenstein Theatre Company and also a famous Winnipeg celebrity)

Alix Sobler (former New Yorker who chose Winnipeg, also, amazing actor and playwright)

Who else? Well, you will just have to show up and see.

CRUMBS has also put together an official Youtube Channel (just like all the dancing kittens and lip syncing kids). We will slowly be building this and growing this to include sweet videos of us doing our live show and short films. We will probably post videos of dancing kitties and lip synching kids as well.

Check out these first two vids:





Please check out the channel and spread it around and do the internet stuff with it.

Here is some information about the Fringe in Winnipeg.

#1 It is the best one in North America. It isn't the biggest (that distinction belongs to Edmonton's Fringe) but it is the best one. It has people who are really interested in seeing the shows and there really is a buzz in the city while the festival is going on. Winnipeg has a nice fountain while Edmonton has a waterpark inside their mall... Edmonton is always out bigging us.



#2 It is where you can see shows shows shows and more shows. Anyone can apply and anyone can get pulled in the lottery. That means you can see a show from a pro group and an amateur group. You can see a dance show from China or a real live play from England. You can see a local company perform an original work or a theatre company from America perform Shakespeare... You can see almost anything at almost anytime for a whole 12 days.


#3 People are around and Winnipeg feels like an actual city with an actual downtown with actual cultural life. This alone is worth seeing.

#4 CRUMBS puts on a show every night just for you. Seriously, it's just for you.

CRUMBS turns 12

CRUMBS turns 12? Really?

Well way back in the fall of 1997 three leftover members of the seminal Winnipeg comedy troupe "Higher Than The Ground" formed a little trio called CRUMBS. Now the group has had a couple people come and go, but the two core members of the duo within the trio have always been (and remain) Stephen Sim and Lee White. CRUMBS currently plays with master of soundtrack DJ Hunnicutt, which brings the legendary duo back to duo in a trio. Everything is right with the world again.

So are CRUMBS going to have some sort of show to celebrate?
Good question...

Yes indeed, CRUMBS presents:
