Fringe Blog: The No Bull$#!% History of Canada - Finale

Leaving Toronto aka sadface emoticon
Part 6 - Finale
by Kyle Allatt

W00t!  The tour is done, now I can go home.  And/or boo-urns, the tour is done, now I have to go home.  There is always a bittersweet feeling to the end of a show’s run, even more so when you’re on tour.  I’m tired, but I’m elated.  I’m proud, yet I’m bummed.

By all accounts the show was a success.  We had tons of people come out to see it, sold out a few shows, got some great reviews and made it onto at least 3 media’s top picks lists.  Final show was sold out, had a killer house and I got all emotional and partially weepy saying my thanks to everyone at the end.

Our story so far...

...Kyle Allatt and the House of Style have just finished their Montreal run of their première production “The No Bull$#!% History of Canada” to critical and commercial success.  What’s next for our Heroes?  

Toronto, bitches.

But first, maybe I should placate my producer and tell you a bit about the show.  She always seems concerned with this crap (i.e. making a profit, abiding city ordinances, not being arrested, etc.).  Well, to put it briefly it’s a 50 minute edutainment extravaganza of the History of our Nation.  But not the boring shit.  You won’t hear me detailing legislative battles that John A. Macdonald undertook to amalgamate the District of Keewatin into Canada proper.  But you WILL hear about how he drank so much that he threw up in the middle of a campaign speech.  You won’t hear about the political machinations undertaken by Brian Mulroney during days 3-7 of the Meech Lake Accord.  But you will hear about when our 11th Prime Minister sent a citizen underwear via Canada Post at her request.  And, if you’re nice, I’ll let you touch my beaver. (Not innuendo.  Please take that literally.  My attorney urges me to stress this point.)
