The Comic Strippers are a fictitious male stripper troupe, played by a cast of some of Canada’s best improvisational comedians. These guys try to be sexy… it just comes out funny. Constantly grooving and gyrating, in between scenes they banter with the crowd and perform their sexylarious twist on improv sketches. They sing, they “dance;” these guys are oiled up and ready to make you laugh. Women often say the most attractive thing about a man is his sense of humour - so ladies, these stripped-down comedians are sure to make your head explode. And not to worry, gentlemen, this is definitely a parody of male strippers. “A show suitable for both men and women… an entertaining ride where anything goes.” - Rip It Up Magazine
Semi-undressed and completely unscripted, The Comic Strippers take off their shirts and take on your suggestions to create a whole new genre of comedy.

Meaford 150 Local Showcase in Concert
Meaford was officially established as a town in 1874 and the community is coming together to celebrate 150 years! Known for many things, Meaford is also recognized for its rich culture and local talent. The Meaford 150 Showcase in Concert is a great example of that!
Opening this showcase is Acapella Sound, a local chorus group composed of women who love to sing in four-part harmony. Their melodic blends are sure to set the tone for a great show. Next on stage will be The Marlins, a well-known local family, consisting of Lucy and Steve and their five children (Maria, Wilder, Mateo, Solomon, & River). Lucy and Steve have been playing music together for over 25 years and music continues to be at the heart of their family. Each family member plays an instrument and sings and are always a crowd pleaser. Paige Warner is no stranger to local stages but is on the cusp of really big things and we’re thrilled to have her join the show. The second act will feature Michael Gagliardi, an accomplished guitarist, specializing in Latin Jazz and Flamenco. Although he has a beloved local fanbase of former school chums, since leaving Meaford and moving to California at age 19, he has traveled the world and shared stages with artists such as BB KING, AARON NEVILLE, BIG BAD VOODOO DADDY, BUDDY GUY, ASIA, JOSE FELICIANO, AL DIMEOLA, FISHBONE, KEITH URBAN and many others. We are grateful that Michael could fit us into his very busy schedule of 170-200 performances per year. magagliardi.com

Mysteries of the Keyhole House
Created and Performed by Grand Illusionists and
Hollywood Headliners: The Outerbridges
Masters of illusion, Ted and Marion Outerbridge, Mysteries of the Keyhole House will take you on a magical and historical journey of their own personal experiences in the Keyhole House.
This production is based on a true story about the once dilapidated historic home that the Outerbridges now happily share with spirits of yesteryear, and which they lovingly call The Keyhole House, so named for its grand keyhole arched entryway (what magician doesn’t love a keyhole and its portal to the otherworldly?!).
Ted’s masterful video-logues about restoring the Keyhole House, the historical artifacts found, and friendly hauntings have gone viral with over 30 million views on TikTok and appearances on CTV National News, a TVO documentary, and NBC’s The Golf Channel (Brooke Henderson’s grandparents had a 54-year connection to the house).
These videos and the true stories they tell birthed Mysteries of the Keyhole House, a simultaneously reverent, mystical, and joyous show, where magic becomes the master storyteller. Audiences will be transported through time as Ted and Marion Outerbridge take them through an evening of enthralling illusions, theatre and dance, creating a spine-tingling spectacle of living history. It’s more than just magic!

Einstein!
Einstein! Celebrating 100 Years of General Relativity
This multi-award winning and critically acclaimed show, written and starring Jack Fry, brings Einstein back from beyond, frustrated that no one has heard the real science history behind General Relativity.
Albert takes us back to Berlin in 1914 where he is sent sideways in a world crumbling around him due to the Great War, a science establishment that doesn’t believe him, those that do try to wrestle the theory away from. He is being isolated for his pacifist views, has a wife who won’t give him a divorce, faces a huge scientific backlash, anti-Semitism, a 10-year old son fighting for his affections, and finally a nervous breakdown that lay him bed ridden for two whole months.
Told with humour, 3D graphics that help give us an insight to his brilliant mind, Albert Einstein comes to life as Jack Fry revitalizes one of the most intriguing icons of all time.
It is funny, touching and a true triumph!

Pavlo is currently planning his 4th PBS concert special “Pavlo: Live In Santorini” and he remains driven by the words his father told him when he was a boy: “Have the courage to do what you love, and the drive to do it well.”
