Friends,
For over a year now I've been working on a solo show.
It's about being a good man in a world that wants us to be "the man". It's mostly personal stories but there are characters and jokes and sad things too.
The writing process has been as beautiful and difficult as anything I've ever done and now I. AM. FREAKING. OUT!!! because you can buy tickets to see it: https://montrealfringe.online.red61.ca/event/2030:422/

Katya's story is about young love and how sometimes it feels like black magic. Cool thing is, though, it's also about ACTUAL black magic.

Another story? Yes! In this one, Erica Blumfield (producer of LA's Revealed) has a love story with a backdrop of New York's foundational, turn-of-the-century music scene and a dash of Big Star's underground CLASSIC Thirteen.

Episode number 100 of the Volume K**b (can you believe it?) features Montreal-area teacher, author and storyteller Lea Beddia with a story that really takes the show back to its roots. Lea shares a story about how her love for music has, at some of the hardest times of her life, given her a safe place to be. Something to calm the heart, settle the body and get ready, for show time. You can hear it here: https://buff.ly/3VnLnrx I can't believe the priviledge it has been for me over the last (nearly) three years to share stories like Lea's with you. And I can't wait to share even more fantastic stories in person at La Sala Rossa on May 13th.

Just because it's the right thing to do, doesn't mean it's going to be easy. Kurt knew that his new home on the west coast would give him plenty of opportunities to grow but that didn't mean that he was going to be able to quit smoking all on his own.

Emily's story is about what happens when memories change from warm to cold and back again. Her divorce had her dramatically rethinking everything she new about not only her ex, but also about the city they called home. And then, over time, she went back.

What happens when you work to achieve a dream for years, and then you finally get it... and you're convinced it's going to go all wrong? Emira's story is about the her dream to move to Canada from the Balkans and how she was inspired by a certain, cheezy 80s pop anthem. It's also one of TVK's Greatest Hits.

It's the winter of 1983 and Ronna is in New York, tired of being stuck and looking for a new family. When she finds it among her fast-living and glamorous co-workers in a New York restaurant, everything seems fine... until she's forced to confront how little she actually knows her new adoptive family.

Carolyn's story is an elegant, delicate and heartfelt look at what it means to say goodbye to a parent; and what it's like to argue with a minister.

Heard you missed us, we're back! Episode One of Season Six of the show is a fantastic one featuring long-time NYC storyteller, Steve Zimmer. Steve's story has him working as a mover for his friend Mark, who is enlightened enough to call his moving company Pro(letariat) Movers but not so enlightened that he's entirely fair in his division of the spoils of the means of production... Steve's story is lovingly crafted, funny and relatable. You can hear it here: https://buff.ly/3X8sTKO or wherever you download.
Deb is the last storyteller of Season 5 and we couldn’t be prouder. Her story is, in a way, about magic words; the times when the vocabulary arrives to explain where (and sometimes who) we are.
