Stage Door News
Using a table and chair, a clothes rack, and cheap coffee mug - a collection of seemingly disjointed, disparate & desperate storytellers take to the stage to share bizarre secrets, relay unfathomable experiences, espouse their crooked values and, in doing so, gradually paint a world that is connected, hilarious, surreal, horrific, and looking for love in all the wrong places.
A trio of actors embody the cast of characters that are living in a Toronto we’ve never seen. A city where first dates cost millions, where coffee is more potent than cocaine, where haircuts ruin friendships and people unwittingly become birthday presents... where every parent is worthy of unwanted prizes.
The Best Dad in the World... delves with descriptive relish into the darker corners of comedic storytelling – throwing together shocking imagery, wacky humour and heart-felt moments to provide a fresh modern take on the nature of confession.
