SUMMARY:Liars of Orpheus: Comedians and Clowns
DESCRIPTION:Liars of Orpheus: Comedians and Clowns \nLiars of Orpheus is a kids show for adults where writers produce small faux lectures on strange topics. This month\, writers will be creating fun fictitious work on their favorite comedians. \nFeaturing at Liars of Orpheus: Comedians and Clowns will be Katie Ellen Humpries\, Mike McGee\,Simon King and Yumi Nagashima. \nKatie-Ellen Humphries is a standup comedian\, writer and sketch performer currently based in Vancouver\, B.C. \nWhether sharing comedic confessions or disappearing into uproarious and dramatic characters\, Katie-Ellen’s remarkable point-of-view resonates on the stage\, page and screen. Her sensibility (that falls somewhere between the library and the locker-room) and sharp wit make her a favourite of audiences of all kinds. \nA founding member of The Lady Show and veteran of award-winning comedy cabaret Atomic Vaudeville\, Katie-Ellen is a regular on CBC Radio’s The Debaters where she has worked as a writer and Associate Producer. Katie-Ellen is also a 3-time Canadian National Champion for the 5 Kilometer Open Water Swim. That’s unrelated to comedy\, but it explains the shoulders. \nMighty Mike McGee is a funny stand-up poet from San José\, California. He’s performed his comedic storytelling and poetry in thousands of cities and towns for millions of ears throughout the U.S.\, Canada and Europe. McGee won all of the most coveted U.S. poetry slam titles and is one of the best known and liked people in the world of chatty writers. He was appointed Poet Laureate of Santa Clara County (Silicon Valley) for 2018 & 2019. He’s been featured on CBC\, NPR and HBO multiple times and takes pride in making people laugh and cry from the stage. \nAn absolute force of nature on stage\, Simon King is the kind of dynamic\, energetic and intelligent comedian that comes along perhaps once in a generation. \nWith credits including: HBO\, Just For Laughs\, The Winnipeg Comedy Festival CBC\, CTV\, TBS\, The Comedy Network and numerous television and radio appearances\, Simon is a veteran comedian with experience performing around the world. \nA relentless energy\, whip smart material and lightning quick wit that moves him seamlessly from written material to improvisation will win you over but his intelligent humour and incredible performance will show you why Robin Williams has called him a “Truly gifted comedian”. \nYumi Nagashima is a Tokyo-born actress\, writer\, and international stand-up comedian known for her magnetic stage presence and sharp\, globally informed perspective. Blending cultural insight with playful elegance and bold timing\, she captivates audiences worldwide. Her work has been featured at Just For Laughs Montreal\, Winnipeg Comedy Festival\, Halifax Comedy Festival\, CBC Gem’s New Wave of Stand-Up\, and Comedy Central Asia. Her viral comedy clips across social media and YouTube continue to reach a rapidly growing global audience.
