Chez MainLine 2010-03-16

MainLine March Madness continues!

NEON NIGHTZ! In icy, wintry Montreal where’s a soul to go for comfort, confession and salvation? As The Scandelles’ Sasha Van Bon Bon and Kitty Neptune reveal, the strip clubs of Montreal in the ‘90s were in as high demand as those more sanctified places of refuge. From the iconic feature dancer, to the table dance confessional, Neon Nightz explores the human side to the world of exotic dancing and uncovers some surprising revelations. March 17-19 @ 8 pm. $20. Tickets now on sale at www.mainlinetheatre.ca.

And just in case this is all not crazy enough for ya...

UNCALLED FOR DRUNKEN ST. PADDY'S DAY IMPROV SHOW! Kiss us, we're hammered. Somehow, Uncalled For has lived to bring you the fourth annual edition of their best/worst idea ever: the UNCALLED FOR DRUNKEN ST. PADDY'S DAY IMPROV SHOW. As per eternal sacred custom, each year at this time, Uncalled For gets much, much too drunk. Publicly. For your enjoyment. The idea is simple: the audience gets boozy and rowdy, and the players try to drink at the same pace; or, perhaps, the players get liquored and feisty and the audience tries to keep up. Any and all alcohol that is sent our way gets drank, on stage. Watch as we try, with increasing difficulty/unwarranted confidence, to make up an entire show off the top of our heads, while simultaneously submerging our heads in liquor and beer. Improv is hard enough, so they say; now, the scales are tippled...

Does this sound like a terrible idea to you? You're probably right, you don't want to be there. Does this sound like a fantastic idea to you? You're almost certainly right, you've gotta be there. WARNING: This show is not recommended for first-time Uncalled For viewers. It'll just give you the wrong idea.

FRIDAY, MARCH 19 @ 11 pm. Tickets $10.
