Blast From The Past - Comedy Show

Blast From The Past - Comedy Show A Comedy Show for the Child in You. Storytelling and improv collide in a new nostalgic comedy for the child in you.

Blast From the Past Presents... One Night Only, is at the Toronto Fringe Festival and breathing new life into cherished items from our past we once held so dear. Inspired by childhood show-and-tell, we journey back in time to when life was simpler. For one night only, real-life stories are shared on stage by a new engaging storyteller each night, and then reimagined into a completely unscripted improv comedy. Hosted by the ever adorable and extremely nostalgic Susan Debreceni.

Oh tonight we're excited, one of our fave storytellers Elaine Gold returns to our show to join us during The Toronto Fringe!! Wed July 13 at 6 pm!!

Elaine started out doing stand up decades ago and then wouldn't give up and dragged it into the future. Now Elaine has become a sought after and honest storyteller, telling personal stories about s**t that happens to all of us. Elaine performs at many storytelling shows, formerly a regular at Tinder tales, (a long running show about dating). When not being a kick ass Bubby, she can be found at films, listening to music and writing stories as they happen.

"Each performer shone with a boldness resembling the set’s brightly coloured blocks, chairs, and other childhood items. Right of this sits a staple of the show: a piano. Aaron DeSousa as the pianist and composer plays in accompaniment to the improv, enhancing every moment he sees fit. Live music adds warmth to the atmosphere, making for a cozy comedy."
