OFF-JFL - 7 Minutes in Purgatory with Ian Abramson

Just for Laughs

Company website

7 Minutes in Purgatory challenges comedians to perform directly to a camera alone in a soundproof room, while audience members watch a live feed in another room. This social experiment/comedy show offers a chance to watch performers hilariously and awkwardly attempt to do their act without the benefit of audience feedback. The show, which was described by the Laugh Button as "one of the coolest and most creative additions to the comedy world," has appeared at festivals like Moontower, Bridgetown, The Onion & AV Club's 2nd & 3rd Annual 26th Annual Comedy Festivals, High Plains, RIOT LA, and the New York Comedy Festival. 7 Minutes in Purgatory will be appearing on Comedy Central digital platforms soon!

Lancez votre été en travaillant au Festival Fringe de Montréal.

Launch your summer by working at the Montreal Fringe Festival.

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.

The Creator of the Universe is coming to Montréal for the first time ever! God takes the stage in the form of Montréal actor Donald Rees in An Act of God: the divinely funny, critically acclaimed Broadway hit play by David Javerbaum, in which God and His devoted angels answer the deepest questions that have plagued mankind since creation.
