BASSPROV in Toronto - $15 - Improv Comedy
BASSPROV - ONE NIGHT ONLY - $15
A hilarious, improvised play has charmed audiences from coast to coast. This critically acclaimed comedy's simple style, and down home characters capture the straightforward lifestyle of the American heartland. The show sets up the audience with "good old boy" characters and then blows them away with intelligent debate and often poignant incite into life in modern times.
THE CRITICS LOVE IT:
-----------------------------------
"One of the cleverest acts Iâve seen. ... Manages to comment subtly on good olâ American values as well as the social and educational differences between the two guys. Astonishing." â NOW Magazine
âBASSPROV was 'best of show' in my book. Two good old boys with unexpectedly complex vocabularies, insights, and emotional finesse. The audience ate up every minute of their set." â ArtSpike Magazine, Cincinnati
"Perhaps the best thing about the Lowell Comedy Festival is the chance to see shows like Chicago's Bassprov." â The Boston Globe, September, 2007
"Chicago's Joe Bill and Mark Sutton brought their fishing-buddy alter egos Earl and Donny to town for the Toronto Improv Festival, which I hope becomes an annual event. They reeled us in with their casual storytelling, kept us hooked with the subtle shifts in power and mood between the well-defined characters and let us go with a perfectly satisfying conclusion suggested earlier by the audience. I'd watch these guys fish any time... Joe Bill's Earl and Mark Sutton's Donny, buddies who fish for bass and naturally, ingenuously get around to talking about the audience's two suggestions." â Glenn Sumi, NOW Toronto, ranked Bassprov as #4 in the Top Ten Comedy Shows of 2002
