A car crash full of kids.
A knife-wielding madman.
True love, toxic masculinity, and the perils of both.
Swiss-Indian ninja and Frankie Award-winner @postitpaul is a kung fu cat with nine lives, but after decades careening through bizarre, often comical misadventures, he’s down to his last life…
This solo show premiered at the 2023 Montreal Fringe Festival to sold-out houses, standing ovations, and critical acclaim.

Un accident de voiture rempli d'enfants.
Un maniaque armé d'un couteau.
L'amour, la masculinité, et le pire cadeau de Noël possible.
Paul, un genre de ninja suisse-indien est peut-être un chat à neuf vies, mais au bout de plusieurs décennies de mésaventures bizarres et souvent comiques, il en est à sa dernière vie…
Ce spectacle solo a été présenté en première au Festival Fringe de Montréal 2023 à guichets fermés, acclamé par la critique et le public, et a été mis en nomination pour le prix Just For Laughs- Comédie exceptionnelle (anglais), mais en revanche a remporté le prix de Design exceptionnel d’affiche. Une traduction française sera présentée au Festival Fringe de Montréal en juin prochain.

For one night only (well, technically six,) drag king Kris Ma’cheque is headlining his very own cabaret! And he promises it’ll be a good one. No matter what. Featuring a new act every show, Personal Best is a funny, moving, unpredictable journey into one performer’s desire to make the grade.
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.
