This fall, Primary Colors Presents invites you to come and experience all that is WHAM CITY for their first ever comedy tour! Coming all the way for Baltimore Maryland and after a row of successful comedy shows, WHAM CITY is excited to come back to Toronto and bring with them all the greatness from their theatre nights during the WHAM CITY retrospective at The DeLeon White Gallery in 2009. Along with WHAM CITY will be Toronto residents: Life of a Craphead and Jamie Shannon! Please come and show these wonderful artists some support at DoubleDouble Land in Kensington Market Toronto!
MORE INFO:
Wham City is a group of independent artists linked by the bonds of friendship. They join forces to collaborate, they disperse to collaborate with others, and some only collaborate with themselves. The structure/non-structure of the group is in a constant state of flux. They have no set group aesthetic, focus, or member roster. Their work as individuals represents them alone and does not necessarily reflect the group or other members. Wham City makes art shows, theater performances, music shows, festivals, books, computer networks, fashion shows, email lists, etc. They also include members and non-members. Their goal is to create and support an artistic community while honoring our individual voices and to write emails.
Some words from the Artists:
“It was an idea that a few of us had simultaneously, we ran over to each other and pretty much said the same thing at the same time. We were so excited we knew it was going to happen.” – Ben O’Brien (Wham City member and co-creator of Showbeast)
“Comedy has always been a big part of the work that we make and they way we interact with each other. A lot of us over the years have been working on our own solo acts, stand up, performance art, plays, etc, so we decided to put it all together into a one ultimate comedy night combined with some original never-before-seen group sketches. It comes out to be a nice mixture of different styles, like a creepy salad.” – Ben O’Brien (Wham City member and co-creator of Showbeast)
