New Environmental show

The environment, it's everywhere! So what better thing for us at Calgary A-GoGo to do a show about? The new show, "So Long and Thanks for all the Whales!", features songs, sketches and even some improvised comedy all about the issues affecting the environment today.

Here's the running order of the show:

Sketch: Melting Ice-capades
Song: There's a Hole in the Ozone Layer, Condeliza, Condeliza.
Filler improv game
Sketch: Kyoto Disagreement
Song: Global Warming (It's getting Hot Hot Hot)
Filler improv game
Song: Ho, ho, we're so, so going to go, go the way of the dodo.
Filler improv game: Dodo, Run, Run!
Song: Goodbye (to all the species)

New Edinberg Festival show

This month sees the prestidgious Edinberg Fringe Festival which every year thousands of performers and hundreds of viewers flock to to see the latest one-man-shows and off-center plays. This year Calgary A-GoGo allumni, Halzius Creepley, is taking his one-man show there. Halzius' show, entitled "Lost In Space-Cake," charts his career from emotionally wrecked actor to narcotically wrecked actor. And this year Calgary A-GoGo is sponsering the show because we always like to support our ex-actors, or deserters, as we affectionately call them. Not only that, but the show mentions Calgary A-GoGo 32 times. Even we have trouble doing that!

Calgary A-GoGo launches it's new show

It's always an event. Every year the Calgary A-GoGo actors spend 4 months preparing for a new show launch. There's the posters to design, flyers to print, myspace invites to send out, and sometimes we even have time to write some new sketches (Not this time sadly). But after all this work, the publicioty department is ready, the actors have re-learnt their lines and Mervin the Myspace Boy has sent out the invites, it's time to announce the new show.

Calgary A-GoGo's new show is called "The Complete History of the Winchester Repeating Rifle 1866-1932 (and this time we've got the bullets)"

In the new show, we dare to poke fun at the taboo subjects of "Guns", "High Murder Rates" and the fact that many Americans and non-Americans are not very pleased with the presidency of George W. Bush. As Candians (with three Americans in our cast) we feel ourselves in the perfect place to cock a snoop (but not a pistol, geddit?) at these topics.

So whatever side of the political fence you sit on, you can always find a place to see the show behind one of our tables.

"The Complete History of the Winchester Repeating Rifle 1866-1932 (and this time we've got the bullets)" premiers for the next 2 weeks, then goes into pre-runs and then finally re-premiers in September.

Calgary A-GoGo new show complete success before it even starts

Calgary A-GoGo's new show, jumping on the broadbandwagon of the e-Internet, the latest computer phenomenon, has been declared a rousing success by Cal Robertson, our new e-Artistic Director. The show, called "Got Yahoo by the Googles," takes a sideways look at the e-Internet, the phenomenon that's sweeping the world, electronically. For those of you who don't know, the e-Internet allows you to upload pictures, videos and articles all about yourself. Said Stelios Mallacacos, one of Calgary A-GoGo's flounders, "It's the greatest self-promotion device in the history of mankind. I love it and wanted to do a show about it." The show features new sketches specifically written about the e-Internet such as one where a Priest, a Rabbi and Buddha walk into a cyber-bar. There are even brand new e-improv games such as "cyber-space Jump" and "robot-rotate-left/right."

Tickets on sale now at the e-Ticket office, which is in the same place, but we've decorated it silver. Happy e-trecking.

Last Calgary A-GoGo Soccer Video Released

Today Calgary A-GoGo released the final video in our Soccer World Series series, in which Soccer supporter, Halzius Creepley, gives his opinions on this amazing feetballing championship. Halzius, or The Unlively Fan, as he is known will give his predictions for the final between Paris United and Valencia Hotspurs (please check these) which will take place in the capital of Germany, East Germany. He will also explain more of the important sokker rules such as, where the "corners" are, what color shirts the Umpires wear and how Tries are scored.

Calgary A-GoGo unveils four new shows

Calgary A-GoGo has been working had behind the scenes to bring you FOUR new shows. Over the past few months, the management and cast have been searching through the archives to come up with the best sketches ever seen on the Calgary A-GoGo stage. The result is FOUR (count them) new shows.

"bESTbITZ" is a collection of sketches voted there favorites by the management of Calgary A-GoGo.

"Fave Raves from the Grave" is a collection of sketches voted for by the actors and vetted by the management of Calgary A-GoGo.

"He Who Knows, Picks" is a personal selection by our Artistic Director, Cal Robertson.

"enormoushits" is a collection of the skteches that nearly made the other shows but had to be left out because of time required for the interval and loud music in between the sketches.

Calgary A-GoGo highly recommends you see ALL these shows, which although they have a common theme, are up to 50% different to each other in content.

See you there,
Cal Robertson
Artistic Director Elect
