Did you miss us, Toronto? We’ve certainly missed you! Fringe is our favourite time of the year, and we love nothing more than sharing it with you — so every summer, by the kindness of dozens of Fringe Festival companies, we get to literally give it away.

Starting today, we’ll be posting a daily list of 5 shows. Shoot us an email and you might win a pair of tickets to one of the hottest productions in town.

Of course, we’re posting other stuff as well: comprehensive coverage of the festival, with a review of every single production by the end of opening weekend; features, interviews, photographs and summaries; news, analysis, whimsies and warnings, we’ll have it all.

But while this is all fine and well, Fringe is about seeing theatre! So click “Read More” for the contest rules and a little something about the 5 shows we’ve got lined up for June 29, opening day!

As we pass through the second half of the Toronto Fringe Festival, we’re seeing more sold-out shows as showtimes dwindle and options decrease. We’ve reviewed every show in this year’s festival to help you decide what to see in the time you’ve got left, but we’ve also got you covered for five more shows–our last five of this year’s Fringe!

Either way, it couldn’t be easier to enter! Until July 10th, we’ll be giving out tickets to 5 shows. You can enter each of the five contests by sending us an email (more details below).

Remember, you need to enter each contest individually. If we pick your name, you’ve got two tickets heading your way, so watch out for that confirmation e-mail!

Here are the 5 shows playing on Friday, July 10th, after the jump.

Phew! First week’s over and we here at MoT have been working around the clock seeing shows, Fringe-ing it up and getting all shows reviewed so you can browse at your leisure and find the ones that pique your fancy.

If you need us, we’ll be sleeping…or at the beer tent. Probably at the beer tent.

But, Fringe for Free continues today with another five shows under the cut that we’re giving away a pair of tickets to. We’re doing this every day until Friday July 10 so keep checking back for new shows and keep entering. It’s easy to do! Send an email to us with the show’s title in the subject line and that’s your entry in the contest. Remember, one email per show so if you want to enter for all five shows, you need to send five separate emails.

But without further a do, keep reading for the five shows playing on Tuesday, July 7.
