Jason Zinger introduced us to Elizabeth Rose Morriss at our March 2015 show. Like Jason, Elizabeth is a musical theatre performer. I've enjoyed her performances as part of Bygone Theatre fundraising events at The Social Capital Theatre. Given her talent and love of Star Trek, it made sense to book her to perform as part [...]

Dandies Spotlight: Kristin Fung
onI first met Kristin Fung as part of the Big City Improv Festival in 2013. She was the musical director for one of the acts and stood out for helping the performers on stage make more daring musical choices. We have had the benefit of Jason Zinger as our MD but it was nice to [...]
Dandies Spotlight: Peter Wildman
onPeter Wildman was a childhood hero of mine, as one of the funny four of The Frantics. "Who?" you millenials might ask. The Frantics were Canada's premiere sketch comedy group, you whippersnappers. Peter is a wonderful musician and actor (stage, television, and voice), known beyond The Frantics for his work on The Red Green Show, [...]
Dandies Spotlight: Zabrina Chevannes
onThe first time we saw Zabrina Chevannes do stand-up, was at show in Little Italy a few years ago; we went to support our friend, Alex Crawford. Although she was a new to us, the Brampton comedian had already garnered a great reputation on the open mic circuit. In truth, though we are fans of [...]
Dandies Spotlight: High Heels Lo Fi
onHigh Heels Lo Fi has their priorities straight. Party. Drink. Good Time. We had the fortune of having them kick off our season of shows this year. To get the crowd going, they don't need go-go dancers (yes, they have them), or to show off their singing prowess (Cyn is a rock powerhouse), or the [...]
Dandies Spotlight: Karyn Ellis
onWe met Karyn Ellis in 2009, just before she released her 3rd CD "Even Though The Sky Was Falling". We hit it off instantly and it didn't hurt that we had mutual friends in Ralph MacLeod and Janine Stoll. We've kept in touch over the years and, in between her touring schedule, Karyn played a [...]
Dandies Spotlight: Garrett Jamieson
onGarrett Jamieson is one of our favourite Toronto comedians. Garrett's sense of humour isn't negative or malicious -- he is wonderfully irreverent, almost daring the audience to stop him from making dirty jokes. Garrett has supported The Dandies from the beginning. Here is a world-class stand-up comedian -- he literally travels the world (with heavy [...]
Holodeck Follies – Kraken Not Stirred
onKraken Not Stirred Our friends in High Heels Lo Fi suggested we check out and book this new electrofilk band, Kraken Not Stirred. It took us a while, but we finally appeased the mighty Kraken for the honour of hosting the first public performance. The Kraken, wishing to express his fascination with these stories, now uses [...]
Holodeck Follies – Garrett Jamieson
onGarrett Jamieson is basically the devil It isn't like he is the redheaded stepchild of the Toronto stand up comedy scene; the crowd loves him everywhere he plays. One on one, Garrett is a quiet and engaging guy. And then he hits the stage. The guy is a charmer. As with any good comedian, he [...]
