Thinking of catching something on stage this weekend? Why not check out locally-based Asiansploitation‘s latest sketch-comedy show: ALL GROWN UP.
As the folks at Asiansploitation call it, All Grown Up is their “Bar Mitzvah, [their] Quinceañera, [their] Debutante’s Ball of sketch comedy shows. After 5 years, Asiansploitation is ushering in a new era of comedy that is edgier, smarter, sexier, more mature and just as messy. Franco is heartbroken. Jeff’s son graduates high school. Darrel is expecting. James gets a new job. Growing up is tough, but it doesn’t have to be dull.”
Second City alumnus, Andrew Currie, guides this young ensemble of actors, writers, improvisers, and musicians, with a few who have recently enjoyed success beyond this troupe. The show is written by and Performed by Gene Abella, Lana Carillo, James Cheng, Darrel Gamotin, Andrea James Lui, Franco Nguyen, and Jeff B. Santos with additional writing by Byron Abalos.
The show will play at George Ignatieff Theatre, 15 Devonshire Place at 8PM this weekend (Fri/Sat July 22-23). All tickets $15; you can purchase them at the door.
We suggest you go enjoy a few laughs this weekend and support Toronto theatre.
