Canadian Comedy Award winners the Shehori Brothers present Marco Timpano

in the return of the 2008 Fringe sensation...

One-Woman Show

(Toronto – August 15, 2008) At long last, a one-woman show created by people who can really do justice to the genre: three dudes.

Yes, after a breakout world premiere at the 2008 Toronto Fringe, and a follow-up run at the Best of the Fringe festival, One-Woman Show is back!

The brand new comedy from the team that brought you the infamous 2006 live sensation Swiss Family Guy Robinson is making its post-Fringe debut at the Diesel Playhouse from Thursday, September 11^th to Sunday, September 14^th.

Canadian Comedy Award winners the Shehori Brothers (The Second City, Naked News, The Hour with George Stroumboulopoulos) present Marco Timpano (Shame is Right, Vito Cazzolungo’s Cabaret) as Eileen, a woman riddled with overwrought stereotypes and delicious clichés. Join ‘her’ as she sounds off on everything from lousy boyfriends to weight issues to weddings to crazy mothers to that dreaded ‘time of the month’.

There are many poignant, smart and truly inspiring one-woman shows in this world. And then there’s, uh, all the others. It’s time to send up the latter, baby!
