Based out of Vancouver, Canada, Shirley Gnome is an unapologetically femme, empowering, uplifting, smart, honest, unhinged and hilarious cabaret performer and songwriter. Her award-winning style blends original country/pop/rock/folk songs with darkly reinvented cover songs, tackling topics as heavy as the #MeToo movement and as light as granny panties. With world-class vocals and catchy melodies, her music is a joyful rebellion of smarts, silliness, sass, sweetness and swears. Shortlisted for Best Cabaret (Fringe World, 2017). Nominated for Comedy Album of the Year (Juno Awards, 2021). 'Voice of a Goddess' ***** (ThreeWeeks). Written and Performed by Shirley Gnome Content Warnings: Adult themes, sexuality, coarse language

RIDGE is part of Intrepid Theatre’s Fall Series. Earlybird tickets on sale until September 22 at 5pm! “This show is simply brilliant.” – CBC A visceral music storytelling show centred around the Battle of Vimy that probes difficult yet necessary questions about how and why we grieve. RIDGE is a monologue with music from Brendan McLeod, who audiences might remember from his hit solo show Brain. Often called the “battle that made Canada,” Vimy Ridge resulted in over 10,000 Canadian casualties. Through direct storytelling, verbatim theatre, and live music, Brendan examines misconceptions and varying perspectives around the battle, while drawing parallels to other formative events in our nation’s past. Featuring inventive musical interpretations of WWI soldier songs – which were recognized with the 2022 JUNO nomination for Best Traditional Roots Album – Ridge is a vivid, kinetic ride through history, as well as an intimate, personal examination of our connection to the past that passionately argues against the exploitation of young lives.

He’s the author of a poetry collection, Friends Without Bodies, a novel, The Convictions of Leonard McKinley, and five theatre shows, including Ridge, his award-winning musical on the Battle fo Vimy, and Brain, his comedic monologue on consciousness.

"What's Wrong with J McLaughlin: Episode 3 '100' is McLaughlin's last chance saloon de refuse attempt to dance with their demons (greed anger resentment jealousy boredom anxiety death depression & oh! so much MORE). Third time's the charm, right? Uno Festival said: "Jay McLaughlin has the ability to make people laugh out loud. Okay, sometimes she gets a little creepy. But sometimes she blurts out some image so shocking & gorgeous it rewires your brain."

View it here. About the artist/company J McLaughlin is a shy, queer anarcho-bourgeois musician and performer from Victoria, BC. They have been entertaining, enthralling & occasionally terrorizing burlesque, drag, stand-up, theatrical & music audiences for over 20 years. Working from deep within an incandescent cathedral of optimistic rage, McLaughlin’s solo performances use intimate narrative, dark humour, & wild ribaldry to deconstruct the cognitive dissonance of living within a cisheteronormative imperialist white supremacist capitalist patriarchy..
