The Sketch Book Comedy Show, presented by The Galloping Coconut Productions, showcases three delightful sketches performed by a group of talented teens from Cornwall and the surrounding area.

Jinny and Jack vs The Thoughts in Their Heads Created by Chantalyne Beausoleil and Ryan Sutherland Produced by RYANcomedy 40m Content warning: Mature language, Sexual content, Mental health By Eve Beauchamp “Please don’t hate the show yet,” the characters beg us. “We promise it gets better!” If you’re looking for a boring, low-energy, drawn out […]
Colin Noden: “My first thought was that this was going to be a campfire ghost story melodrama. I was wrong. Impressive stage presence commands this true crime 1900s drama, letting us in to emotions which are still relevant today.”
Mac Dale: “Fissures X La Menagerie is an ideal choice for Fringe-goers seeking a truly fantastic showcase of professional interpretive dance, accompanied by outstanding lighting and sound design.”
Mac Dale: “The story seems to lack cohesion in its point of view. If you are like this reviewer, you come to the Fringe for just this type of show! The characters are all well defined and have their own voice, and it feels like the performers are bringing a big piece of themselves to their multiple roles.”
Barb Popel: “If you are a history buff, a feminist, a fan of science fiction, a mathematician or computer programmer, or just someone who would like to meet two fascinating geniuses of the nineteenth century, then be sure to see Shelley and Lovelace Never Met.”

Bruce Burwell: “Imagine if a burlesque, a cabaret, and a circus act walked into a bar and decided to join forces to put on a show. This might very well be the show that they came up with.”
Erin Murray: A different group of comedians takes the stage for each performance to spend an hour telling their best completely-made-up-on-the-spot jokes. Lifshitz has recruited a talented crew of some of Ottawa’s favourite comics to take the stage with him.
Colin Noden: I’m not going to spoil it for you by giving any details. Instead, let me just encourage you to be self-aware of your reactions during each musical segment. This is a multi-layered performance. It can appeal to any age and degree of sophistication.
