Erect but Unstable
Hard Times
A comedic and poetic cabaret of theatrical monologues and spoken word examining gay love and relationships, sexual awakening and obsession. Accompany John on his journey through Montreal’s sinuous staircases and Village Gai, with side trips to Science, Religion and Psychiatry, in search of some answers about sex and attraction. “Sweet’s ability to let us experience some of his uncomfortable situations through an absurdist perspective is wonderful” (André Crous, Prague Post). Nominated as best new work at the 2014 Prague Fringe Festival.
Une série de monologues largement comiques dans laquelle le narrateur se questionne par rapport à l’amour et les relations gais, l’acceptation de l’identité sexuelle, et l’obsession. Vous êtes bienvenu à accompagner John parmi les escaliers sinueux du Village Gai, avec quelques diversions vers la Science, la Religion, et la Psychanalyse en quête à quelques révélations sur le sexe et l’attraction. La pièce a été en lice pour meilleure nouvelle pièce au Festival Fringe de Prague en 2014.

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.
A hotel you can stay in…forever. Staff are eager to help, and metaphysical boundaries are mostly respected. That is, until a has-been celebrity comes to stay.
INSIDE MADPOETIX STUDIO is revolutionizing our Soirées Intimes Series by allowing the audience to get to know the feature performer through an interview during the show live. The artist will be interviewed by our host Kym Dominique Ferguson @Mrkdferguson. This is a one of a kind experience. There will be 8 Open Mic spots available for all genres: spoken word, poetry, comedy, singers, clowns, dancers, you name it we welcome it. They are each given a 5 min timeslot.
