Hey there summer fans - thanks for visiting us despite the nice weather outside. But seriously, shouldn't you be outside?!? Just don't forget your sunscreen and bug spray!

Festival season is in full swing in Winnipeg, so we hope you’re getting your fill of all the great entertainment this city has to offer. In fact, several of our past performers have shows at the Fringe this summer, including Hot Thespain Action in their fifth sure-to-be-sold-out Fringe show, "A Show of Hands." Click for showtimes.

We're pretty excited that we've FINALLY added an alumni page on the left hand side of the site. If you've ever found yourself trying to remember who told that joke in that gala three years ago - now there's a place to look! It only goes back five years because that's when this particular site was launched - but if you're a comedian or performer from 2001-2006 and want to be added, email us and we'll get it done!

One last piece of news - we're thrilled that our Artistic Manager Hélene and her husband Rob welcomed a healthy baby boy in May. He was only three weeks late... Clearly with that timing he's not destined to be a comedian.
