Other shows to do in Edmonton by CRUMBS:
1- the improv cartoon (the Saturday Morning Pajama Jam) which is Rene's baby. He has created an improvised cartoon on his laptop, which is totally manipulated in real time while the actors supply the voices. We have only done one of these so far, the opening of Rene's run here in Edmonton, and it sure did work.
2- theatresports (produced by the Edmonton super group Rapid Fire Theatre) which just happens to be the world's longest running theatresports show. I (Stephen) have done two of these shows, which have been in a directed show format so far (which is a format I am really getting into lately) I got to play a zombie in a romantic comedy scene... what else is there?
more shows to come, as Lee and I not only rock our CRUMBS style, but rock the cartoon and theatrsports style too.

knee deep in edmonton...
It is pretty easy to be knee deep in Edmonton (especially during the fringe). Actually, it really is only knee deep in Strathcona (the area where the fringe actually takes place) I don't really venture to far from fringe central.
CRUMBS has done three shows now, and all of them have been nice. Nice crowd, nice flow and nice laughter in the right parts.
SHOW 1 - was the "sex" show (as our show is called "Sex, CRUMBS & Rock 'n Roll" there had better be some of those elements in the show). The suggestion was spurs and sperm and it was full of it.
SHOW 2 - was the kick as "Rock 'n Roll" show. The suggestion was clairvoyant and there was another suggestion as well... anyways, it ended up working out in the end.
SHOW 3 - was the "Lee is losing his voice" show, so he is resting it now, but the show started with his voice leaving. The suggestion was loose change (which of course became... the change is loose).
still 6 more shows to do.

edomton fringe festival
what?
Winnipeg's CRUMBS are in the Edmonton Fringe Festival after a three year hiatus?
Yes the rumours are true. And after a quick two hour plane ride across the prairies, CRUMBS has indeed arrived in the city of plenty to quench their thrist for more of that thing called Fringe.
The plane ride did include a wonderful view of some truly impressive clouds. Even a seasoned flyer like myself will profess (and a sleeping Lee awakened by an old woman will have to agree) that these clouds were like snow covered mystical mountains in the sky... they were nice.
So I am now in the home of legendary Edmonton imporviser Mark Meer and his wife Belinda, staying in the basement with Legendary Atanltian Rene Dellefont. We are all just looking forward to our technical rehearsal tomorrow and the postering and advertising and the sacrificing of virgins that will follow in preperation for our openings at the "improv venue".
The first note of interest upon arrinving in Edmonton was the ready accessabilty of retail shopping. This is the per capital capital of shopping i think. There is a store... everywhere. i can't look down without being accosted by a sale or pizza slice.
Edmonton, I will sell you a show.
p.s. so here we have a post on the blog, for all of you out there checking up on me.
