JAMESY & JAMESY IN HIGH TEA Set for Jericho Arts Centre, 5/18-24

From two multi-award winning, masterful comedians comes the outrageously funny and brilliantly inventive journey of James & Jamesy in High Tea, on stage May 18 - 24, 2015 at the Jericho Arts Centre. Transcending physical comedy and redefining immersive theatre, the 10-time "Best-of-Fest" Fringe winners will sweep spectators out to sea in an aquatic escapade brimming with whimsy, action, and ingenuity.

"Our audiences often surprise themselves by how eager they are to jump into a costume and join in on the fun with James and I," explains Jamesy, the quirky, meticulous, and rather obsessive half of the uproarious British duo. "High Tea is unlike anything you've ever seen, made new each evening from fresh interpretations by the eclectic audience members that become part of the show. But be advised: this is no smooth sailing voyage. I experience a momentary lapse in judgment that - quite literally - results in a dramatic breaking of the fourth wall. And don't forget your teacup. Tea will be served!"

When a catastrophic disaster floods the world in tea, caffeine connoisseurs James & Jamesy leap into action, finding innovative and hilarious solutions to keep them afloat. Evoking the spirit of well-known maritime adventures including Noah's Ark, Jaws, and Titanic, audience members will ease into their roles as pivotal characters in the work, playing along with the unforgettable, witty antics of James & Jamesy.

Since 2012, James & Jamesy in High Tea and James & Jamesy in 2 for Tea - the dynamic duo's premiere work - has been performed 175 times, combined, across 13 Canadian cities. More than 15,000 audience members have relished their cheeky, laugh-inducing theatrics celebrated among children and adults alike.

Hailed as "a child's imagination on steroids" by The London Free Press and "complete and utter fun" by the CBC, critics rave for the charismatic James & Jamesy in High Tea. A must-see performance on the Canadian Fringe circuit, the unstoppable duo regularly receives glowing praise, having been named Best of Fest (Winnipeg), Most Outstanding Show (London), Best Comedy (Victoria), Patrons' Pick (London), and Best Script (Montreal), among many more.
