MTL Clown Festival: Les Bunheads and friends
Les Bunheads
Montreal’s hottest performers gather in this fall’s wildest cabaret night! Stomp and clap music, tear-inducing comedy, and wild-fruity burlesque are your ticket to thrilling variety entertainment. Seamlessly intertwined physical comedy shananigans will take you on a rollercoaster ride of chaos, competition, and pizzazz! These beat-boxing bump and biting acts will not disappoint. Les Bunheads (Vanessa Kneale and Janie Pinard) are the ultimate comedy duo, which tell the three-part tale of the meeting, clash, and timeless rivalry of two world class hardcore females. Their Friends are MC Marvellous Marvin, Caravonica, and Bibi Lolo Bang Bang (Marc Rowland, Jan Dutler, and Héloïse Binette) improv, music, and burlesque extraordinaires who seamlessly sandwich this show into a delectable cabaret whopie pie. Masterminded by James Keylon from L'École de Clown et Comédie Francine Côté this show blends slapstick, mime, and a whimsical narrative. It's a good ab-workout, promised!
Please note, this show is bilingual.

Coming Soon
What if you entered an empty rehearsal hall and suddenly an audience appears? Joseph Ste-Marie brings his experimental scripted/improvised one-man show, This Show is Broken back to the stage! This remount blends the 2021 Digital Theatre production from the Montreal FRINGE Festival and the original 2015 production at the 2nd annual Shortstanding Festival. Ste-Marie must perform his show as he explores his life, struggles, missteps, and tries to show that it’s not too late to pursue your dreams…. However, Joseph is challenged to be honest with himself so his show can be authentic as possible without being blinded by ambition.
"Le Collectif Les Tisseuses s’est formé à partir de l’envie de rassembler des femmes et des personnes non binaires autour du jeu théâtral en décloisonnant les pratiques et les imaginaires. Il est composé de huit artistes aux origines, pratiques et vécus multiples.
Les Tisseuses ouvrent leur espace créatif avec une étape de la pièce Notre tour c’est quand?, une proposition scénique intimiste.
La pièce raconte l'histoire des funérailles de Pilar, la matriarche d'un quartier. On y retrouve des femmes aux horizons pluriels venues honorer la mémoire de celle qui a su entrelacer leurs existences en leur offrant la possibilité d’assembler leurs histoires. À travers ce moment de deuil, se tissent des liens qui transcendent les frontières de leur famille, de leur quartier et de leur pays, offrant un portrait poignant de la force des relations féminines et de la sororité.
En se rassemblant à la croisée des cycles de vies, les personnages que vous allez rencontrer s’adressent des questions millénaires, et cheminent au cœur de leurs vérités en nous rappelant qu’il n’est de refuge plus solide que celui de nos solidarités.
La pièce s’achèvera par un échange entre les artistes et le public, permettant de recueillir les impressions de ce dernier. Modéré par la directrice artistique du festival.
