CRUMBS does SHOWS!

Holy Sh*T folks!

CRUMBS is Soooooooooo damn excited for some upcoming shows. We simply must tell you all over again about them.


#1
Our good friends The National Theatre of the World (known as NTOW) are traveling from the comforts of Toronto to the icy wonderland of Winnipeg to do some shows at the Winnipeg Jewish Theatre (knows as WJT). They will be performing Jan 25th - 29th. They do a show called Impromptu Splendor that has them improvising a show in a theatrical style, and they are great. They are so great that they have invited CRUMBS to perform with them on Thursday, Jan 26th, the show will be in the style of HAROLD PINTER and it will be great. So great in fact, that you should go see the show.

#2
While our good friends NTOW are in Winnipeg, we decided to also put on a special midnight show of NTOW + CRUMBS for everyone to see. We are doing the show on Friday, Jan 27th at the ECC (which is at 75 Albert Street). The show will only be $5 (which is way way too cheap) but the show will be starting at MIDNIGHT SHARP (latecomers will be charged $10, which is still soooo cheap). Get there early folks, early!

#3
CRUMBS continues to do our regular shows at the King's Head Pub as part of the ongoing and super awesome FREE LAUGHS comedy shows. The first show will Tuesday, Feb 7th at 9pm and Tuesday, Feb 21st at 9pm. These shows are always a good time and always free and always a double good time.

#4
CRUMBS doesn't only do strange guest shows and free shows, oh no, we also do shows at REAL theatres for ACTUAL MONEY! We will be putting on our annual Berlin or Bust improv show at the Gas Station Arts Centre on Saturday, Feb 18th at 8pm. The tickets will be only $10 and advance tickets will be on sale at our regular CRUMBS shows (see above postings). This show is the fundraiser show we put on every year before we head off on our European Tour! Come on down and support us by laughing at us (we would love that).

#5
CRUMBS continues to bring you live radio every single Monday at 5pm CST on 101.5 UMFM. We also broadcast and podcast on the Internet as well (because the future is NOW!). We have been doing this show at UMFM for almost a decade and we would love your ears tuned in.

#6
CRUMBS then tours Europe for months. Look for our European Tour schedule on our official European Website and then stalk us all across the Old Country.

CRUMBS radio show August 16th 2010

Ladies and Gentleman,

The CRUMBS radio show continues to pump out content and digs deep into the pockets of information to deliver you the scoops you so deserve. Every Monday at 5pm CST on 101.5 UMFM or www.umfm.com on the internet.

This week the show touched on:

It was reported on our show by one of our eye witness reports that our city's mayor Sam Katz was seen texting while driving his car... This of course is now against the law in Winnipeg and you would think that after the Mayor had banged down his by-law gavel and uttered the magic words that makes these things into law, he of all humans would know not to do it. We will be investigating this issue further.



Stephen ate raw oysters for the first time in his life. This isn't really news though, more of one of those human interest stories.


The famous Winnipeg festival Folklorama happened and broke attendance records again. The festival, which celebrates several cultures in this mash up of cultures we call Canada, is the longest running and oldest of its kind in Canada (perhaps North America... Maybe even the world?).


Frequent CRUMBS radio caller Andrew made a 5 second short film and will be featured at The Malta Film Festival.




As always we also plugged all the live comedy shows that happen in this city.

Sunday nights at the Cavern (the basement of the Toad in Osborne Village)
Show up at 9pm to sign up because this show is an open mic show. The comedy starts at 9:30 and the hilarity never stops (they do kick you out of the bar at midnight).
This show is FREE!

Tuesday nights at the King's Head Pub for the Free Laughs Comedy Series.
This show is also free and has been running for years. We enter into the 5th season in September. The show rotates between Improv and Stand-up comedy. Always great.

Thursday nights at the Standard Tavern on Sherbrook.
This show is also an open mic stand-up night and is also free.


How do we make money? We get paid in laughter.

CRUMBS radio show

CRUMBS has been doing a radio show at the U of M since... since a whole lot of years. We have been filling the airwaves via this College and Community Radio station known as 101.5 UMFM with CRUMBS nonsense.

The show has evolved and evolved over the last... whole lot of years. We started out getting people to call in with suggestions and we would improvise little radio plays. Then it just turned into a live call in show. Then we really started to make fun of the news and current events. Now it has been fun to do all those things and also do live interviews with cool people.

This last week was an interview from Vancouver with our old friend Paul Anthony. He is the coolest and the craziest. Perhaps he is another "C" word I cannot recall at this moment as well.



Paul was/is a co-conspirator in our battle waged versus comedy. He was in the seminal Winnipeg sketch comedy troupe "Higher Than The Ground" along with Stephen (me) and Lee White (him). That lasted from 1992 to 1996 until finally self destructing. Paul moved to Vancouver to conquer the West Coast and Stephen formed CRUMBS with Lee.

Paul runs the highly successful show Talent Time in Vancouver which is not only a live talent show but also his very own TV show... I know, cool right? Paul also acts in real live movies including the upcoming smash hit "Suck" which is like "Lost Boys" meets "Hard Core Logo" because it is a Rock'n Roll Vampire movie... duh.




But what am I doing? Writing Paul's bio? Just download the podcast and listen to the show and the interview/conversation. Be on the "listen out" for further CRUMBS explorations of interviews and storytellings from around the world and enjoy them.
