Late-in-Life Lesbian

Late-in-Life Lesbian is coming to the Winnipeg Fringe Festival in 2025

Whoo! Lucy Gervais is directing (again!) and I’m coming at you with a sexy new name from a sexy new city.

Late-in-Life Lesbian is now double the length. We’re calling it the “full-blown edition” and it covers the other half of the story. Namely, the devastating life events that unfolded as we were running the show the first time, and why I moved to Winnipeg immediately after. Don’t worry though, this is still a comedy show and it has a happy ending.

Despite all that happened behind the scenes, we had a great first run in Montreal last year. We received a grant from the Canada Council for the Arts and an honourable mention for the English Comedy Award. We met many wonderful people, and were inspired by some fantastic shows.

We’re going to be in Venue 09, the Planetarium Auditorium (not the room with the star projector, the other one).

Showtimes:

• Wednesday, July 16, 7:30 p.m.

• Thursday, July 17, 2:00 p.m.

• Saturday, July 19, 12:45 p.m.

• Sunday, July 20, 6:00 p.m.

• Wednesday, July 23, 4:30 p.m.

• Friday, July 25, 11:00 a.m.

• Saturday, July 26, 9:45 p.m.
