Fact, faith, blind trust, truth, free will and of course, the usual: who, what, why, when and where is God, are all questions probed in the quick witted Jesus Jello: The Miraculous Confection. It seems almost too obvious to perform this play in a church, but it works just the same. Especially for the Toronto Fringe Festival.

The Factory Theatre was on fire tonight, and not only because the weather finally hit the height it’s meant to in early July.

Montreal sketch crew The House of Style invades the Toronto Fringe Festival
The three men of The House of Style are plucky and energetic, and I felt a little bad that the Theatre Passe Muraille Backspace was so empty for their first show. This trio of funny guys hailing from Montreal brought with them Get Off the Stage presents: All Their Golden Hits, a sketch comedy endeavour that was a tad lacklustre, though still fairly enjoyable.

From Press Release
“Liza Live! is a Liza impersonation done right by the firecracker talent of Jennifer Walls. Walls’ earth-shaking set of pipes alongside an impersonation that steers clear of parody and goes all in for a loving, caring portrait of Liza.” – Michael Lyons, FAB Magazine
Experience Liza Minnelli like you’ve never seen her before. Featuring music and memories from one of the most dynamic (and dysfunctional) female stars of the last 60 years, Liza Live! is a hilarious and heart warming look into the life of a woman who when the going got tough, the tough hit the stage.
After her sold out run at the Next Stage Festival, Jennifer Walls gives you Liza Minnelli like you’ve never seen her before.
LIZA LIVE!
Don’t worry. Just stick with me. I’ll never let you down. I won’t. Just believe me, not what you read. Just believe what you see, all right? – Liza Minnelli
