This show was first performed at an offsite during the Montreal Jazz Festival, then held over at The Centaur Theatre's Wildside festival and was featured in a ten performance run at the Zoofest comedy and performance festival. The show is an ever changing, often surprising, tour-de-farce. The musicians are all world class performers who can be seen performing in Montreal and across Canada and the world. In 2010 Angela Galuppo received her B.F.A with Great Distinction, Specialization in Jazz Studies, from Concordia University and was the recipient of the 2007 Dr. Oscar Peterson Jazz Scholarship for performance. Her latest project, St. Ange, and her debut album Second Nature on which she takes her shiny new self-producing/lyricist/composer tricycle out for a ride is available now on iTunes. PatRick Costello and Graham Cuthbertson are both founding members of Montreal's SideMart Theatrical grocery and have been seen on stages and television screens in many English speaking countries.
