CRUMBS does SHOWS!

Holy Sh*T folks!

CRUMBS is Soooooooooo damn excited for some upcoming shows. We simply must tell you all over again about them.


#1
Our good friends The National Theatre of the World (known as NTOW) are traveling from the comforts of Toronto to the icy wonderland of Winnipeg to do some shows at the Winnipeg Jewish Theatre (knows as WJT). They will be performing Jan 25th - 29th. They do a show called Impromptu Splendor that has them improvising a show in a theatrical style, and they are great. They are so great that they have invited CRUMBS to perform with them on Thursday, Jan 26th, the show will be in the style of HAROLD PINTER and it will be great. So great in fact, that you should go see the show.

#2
While our good friends NTOW are in Winnipeg, we decided to also put on a special midnight show of NTOW + CRUMBS for everyone to see. We are doing the show on Friday, Jan 27th at the ECC (which is at 75 Albert Street). The show will only be $5 (which is way way too cheap) but the show will be starting at MIDNIGHT SHARP (latecomers will be charged $10, which is still soooo cheap). Get there early folks, early!

#3
CRUMBS continues to do our regular shows at the King's Head Pub as part of the ongoing and super awesome FREE LAUGHS comedy shows. The first show will Tuesday, Feb 7th at 9pm and Tuesday, Feb 21st at 9pm. These shows are always a good time and always free and always a double good time.

#4
CRUMBS doesn't only do strange guest shows and free shows, oh no, we also do shows at REAL theatres for ACTUAL MONEY! We will be putting on our annual Berlin or Bust improv show at the Gas Station Arts Centre on Saturday, Feb 18th at 8pm. The tickets will be only $10 and advance tickets will be on sale at our regular CRUMBS shows (see above postings). This show is the fundraiser show we put on every year before we head off on our European Tour! Come on down and support us by laughing at us (we would love that).

#5
CRUMBS continues to bring you live radio every single Monday at 5pm CST on 101.5 UMFM. We also broadcast and podcast on the Internet as well (because the future is NOW!). We have been doing this show at UMFM for almost a decade and we would love your ears tuned in.

#6
CRUMBS then tours Europe for months. Look for our European Tour schedule on our official European Website and then stalk us all across the Old Country.

See y'all at the shows folks


CRUMBS does shows with friends!

Before we start gushing about how amazing our friends are and how we get to do shows with some pretty amazing people, here is the latest CRUMBS video of a live performance we did in Berlin without the help of any of our friends.


Now that that's out of the way... CRUMBS is sometimes lucky enough to do some improv shows with other amazing performers. This helps CRUMBS stay fresh and at the same time steal other people's good ideas (which is really what makes any artist great right?).

We have two of these "We're stealing all your good ideas" shows coming up in January and you should come to both of them and see how great our friends are. You can then also be there to see us actually steal their ideas and be able to tell your friends that you know where we get all our good ideas from.

Tuesday, January 10th
This show is at the King's Head as part of the ongoing Free Laughs Comedy Series, so you know its free. But this "CRUMBS & Friends" show (as we like to call it) we have two special guests joining us. The first is the audience favourite FRAZ. The second is the audience other favourite (or at least she would be if she came out and performed more) TRISH COOPER. Yes, the Trish Cooper from the legendary Winnipeg sketch comedy troupe "The Royal Leichtenstein Theatre Company". Very cool show folks, very cool.

Friday, January 27th
This show will be at the ECC (which is just a way cooler way of saying "The Exchange Community Church, because really, who thinks performing at a church sounds cool?). The venue is at 75 Albert Street and will be a midnight show. Oh, I haven't even told you who the special guests are yet... The NATIONAL THEATRE of the WORLD! Yes, it turns out our friends from TNTOTW (actually they prefer their name to be shortened to N.T.O.W. I think) are in town doing their amazing improv show at the Winnipeg Jewish Theatre and are going to do an extra show with us. These folks are great and you should not only come and see this show but also go and see their other show too.

Here are some videos by the members of this group in a series they did called "Bad Stories":

Thanks for reading the internet,

CRUMBS 2011 and 2012

Hello readers of internet words,

I am so glad you are reading this (and I know that you are). I appreciate you reading this as I know there are so many words and articles and essays and blogs and more words and even more words to choose from. Thank you.

First, here is video proof of CRUMBS performing at the TEDx in Munich. More on that later.



CRUMBS just finished the Annual 2 Hour New Years Special on 101.5 UMFM. We did in fact look back on 2011 and we did in fact peer into the upcoming year (2012 for those that are keeping track). Here are some of the results:

Top News Story:
The Arab Spring/Occupy movement


Biggest Death:
Osama Bin Laden

Most Shocking Death:
Stephen = Jack Layton (NDP Leader)
Lee = Ryan Dunn (Jackass)


Best Actor (who died):
Elizabeth Taylor


Honourable Mention:
Stephen = Joe Bodolai (SNL, Canadian comedy pioneer)
Lee = Harry Morgan (M*A*S*H)


We also had some predictions for 2012. We made our picks for who would die in 2012 9I know, morbid right?). I also made my very very serious predictions for the world in 2012.

You can download all the CRUMBS radio show podcasts HERE.

Also folks, you can, and should, come on down to the King's Head Pub this Tuesday to witness the first CRUMBS show of 2012. Every single Tuesday at the King's Head (as I am sure you know) there is a free comedy show, this Tuesday happens to be the amazing CRUMBS improv show. Yes the next CRUMBS show is Tuesday, Jan 3rd at 9pm!

You can see the facebook event page HERE.

Map to the King's Head is HERE.

Also also, CRUMBS took part in the TEDx Munich in 2011. We did a performance that as inspired by, and a little parody of, the talks we saw at the conference before we hit the stage. TED was a conference that started in 1984 as a platform for ideas (TED stands for Technology Entertainment and Design) and it has since become a global series of talks and meetings between smart smartypants all over the world. If you like soaking up ideas and listening to smart people talk, you can get lost on the TED website... go ahead.
