About an Hour - BEST OF THE FRINGE


About An Hour

Director: Lisa Merchant
Cast: Jim Annan, Rob Baker, Jan Caruana, Alex Hatz

For most actors the idea of taking a single audience suggestion and improvising a one act comedy in 60 minutes is a frightening proposition. But for the "fearless performers" ( Toronto Star) of "About an Hour" it's the perfect formula for creating this critically-acclaimed improv comedy.

At the Best of the Fringe, "four of the city's best comic minds" (NOW Magazine) take all the elements of a good Fringe play, including engaging characters and electric storytelling, and combine them with the spontaneity of improv to "pull a funny but focused real-time story out of their collective ass." (EYE Weekly). Directed by three-time Canadian Comedy Award winner Lisa Merchant the cast of About An Hour are no strangers to comedy. Featuring Jim Annan ( Second City ), Jan Caruana (Show Stopping Number, best of the Fringe 2007), Rob Baker (Second City Touring Company) and Alex Hatz (Bad Dog Theatre).

60 minutes (no intermission)
