Come along with Fingers and Shrimp, the last rats in Alberta, and learn how they survive in a world that hates them. Fingers, a curmudgeonly street rat, is completely alone. Or so he thinks, until he discovers Shrimp, an escaped happy-go-lucky lab rat. Eager to preserve his legacy, Fingers creates the Rat Academy to train Shrimp and the audience in the ways of the rodent. Inspired by Alberta’s 1950s anti-rat propaganda, this physical comedy duo will have you clutching your tail!

View it here. About the artist/company This production was created by Dayna Lea Hoffmann and Katie Yoner, in collaboration with Joseph McManus, through Batrabbit Collective. Batrabbit strives to challenge and explore clown that pushes the boundaries of femme bodies on stages and inspire a new generation of artists to create work that is rooted in spectacle and character. After originally being commissioned for the 2022 Play the Fool Festival, the show expanded and the creative team received mentorship from John Turner, Mike Kennard, and Karen Hines of Mump and Smoot. In 2023, the hour-long version of Rat Academy debuted at the Edmonton International Fringe Festival, Vancouver Fringe Festival and Orlando FestN4, gaining a cult following for its hysterical audience interaction, skillfully developed characters, and heartfelt story. Despite its brief run and emerging artistic team, it has received multiple awards and five-star reviews. Following the run at Toronto Fringe, Rat Academy will perform at the Winnipeg, Saskatoon, and Edmonton 2024 Fringe Festivals and follow up with a fall/winter cross Canada Tour.

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.
