Every life is a story worth telling...

Confessions of an Operatic Mute

ABOUT THE SHOW

Canadian Comedy Award recipient, Briane Nasimok, remounts his critically acclaimed show inspired by his first career – as a non-singing performer with the Canadian Opera Company. Over a seven-year period Briane appeared in roles ranging from a “Nubian Slave” to an “Elegant Gentlemen”, logging 287 performances without singing a note.

Now Where Was I

“Nasimok touch people’s hearts, just as he touched mine. These are gentle, personal, self-deprecating stories that reveal Nasimok’s humanity. An ending worth every one of the 52 minutes of this show.” Brian Carroll, Ottawa On-Line

ABOUT THE SHOW
Two storytellers, two chairs, more than two stories
Four-time CBC Literary Prize finalist, Izzy Ferguson, and Canadian Comedy Award recipient and Gemini-award nominated writer, Briane Nasimok (the Naz), share the stage to regale their audiences with tales of romance, adventure, loss and triumph.

Izzy and Briane have been sharing stories for years and have not been told to stop.  Neither of them has moved to the States for fame and fortune.  They aren’t asking for your pity – but they are asking you to have it in your hearts to help them break even.
