Are You There Margaret? It’s Me, Gahd


House of Gahd (Québec, Canada)

Uma Gahd from Canada’s Drag Race Season 5, everybody’s favourite unofficial auntie, brings you her one-woman drag comedy exploring small talk and big issues: fame, family, feminism, and failed marriages! Stuffed with stand-up, lip-sync, and plenty of hysterical pathos, Uma tells the story of her life – from sneaking into bars with her childhood best friend, Margaret, to breaking into showbusiness with her growing family. Part environmental theatre, part cabaret, and part drag show. Come hear the word of Gahd!

‘She is warm, slightly daft, and thoroughly loveable’ **** (List). ‘

Wildly entertaining’ (MontrealTheatreHub.com).

Written, Created and Performed by | Ryan Sauvé (Uma Gahd)
Directed and Stage Managed by | Mathieu Flageole (Selma Gahd)

    Down the Hole

    Juul, anxious and plagued by compulsions, discovers their fetish for choking. Ashamed, but desperate for euphoric relief, Juul retreats into their hole beneath the tree. With Juul hiding away, echoing the dark path of their late father, loneliness and worry creeps up on their mum, Annette. Constricted within the bounds of their arboreal home, Annette and Juul unravel the messy and absurd lengths we go to understand ourselves – and each other. Written and performed by Ilja van Ravels, this is a dark comedy about shame, identity, desire, belonging and the ties that bind us.Written and Performed by | Ilja van Ravelsinstagram.com/ilja_vr

    Rugburn

    Celebrity designer Mat Sanders’ fabulously designed existence implodes spectacularly when sudden betrayal triggers a hysterical, one-man meltdown. Rugburn explores what happens when you’ve built a glittering life on a foundation of unresolved shame and perfectly upholstered defences begin splitting at the seams. Hollywood gossip, popper-fuelled confessions and impeccably appointed interiors collide in this fast-paced, filthy, deliciously deranged neo-vaudevillian spectacle. From the highs of styling A-listers and hosting makeover TV to the lows of underground sleaze and spectacular self-destruction, watch Sanders shape-shift through the dazzling wreckage of his life as style spirals into chaos. Brace yourself for Rugburn.Created and Performed by | Mat SandersDirected by | Telly KousakisChoreographed by | Nicholas Lanziseratiktok.com/@thematfinishInstagram.com/thematfinish

    Rumourville

    Have you heard the gossip? The improvised story of a small town where a rumour ruins all: romance, reputation and petty revenge!  With audience suggestions setting up the action, a single rumour is born. Chaos erupts, relationships implode, reputations shatter and the quest for revenge turns hilariously petty. From misplaced love letters to scandalous secrets, no one is safe, proving that in a tight-knit community the juiciest gossip is always the most destructive. As heard on BBC Radio, seen at Hoopla Impro, Camden Comedy Club, Barons Court Theatre, and sold out at Brighton and Cambridge fringes.Performed by | Sophia Marshall, Helen Bentley, Pete Smith, Matt Prestage, Claudia NovatiProduced by | Tom Munro and Lorna Francis, Incognito Improvinstagram.com/improvincognito/
