'Polite, patriotic, politically correct and extremely passive aggressive'.. that's Sharon from Canada. In the city for Fringe World on Wednesday evening we were pulled in by the loud, confident, funny and altogether charming Canadian accent! It was a small crowd to start with but as with all successful comedians timing is everything and as the audience poured out after the show in Salon Perdu she was ready and waiting to draw them into the fold :)
Choosing four men from the audience.. and very nice picks they were :) she began the transformation from 'Sharon go Canada'..
To sexy Tallulah juggling fire sticks atop the shoulders of her hunky helper! You will have to pull the shots in a bit to see the expressions on the faces of her 'volunteers'.. priceless, but they were all really good sports and followed orders enthusiastically. I have so much admiration for stand-up comics, especially as in this case Sharon from Canada didn't have a ticketed audience, it was her wit and determination that drew in the crowds and their donations that paid her way. I'm darn sure I couldn't do it, what about you? Happy Friday, take care and stay safe...
Buskers are such fun to watch, with real people skills. It looks like she's a natural!
ReplyDeleteWe're passive aggressive?
Thus sure looks like it was a lot of fun. Great smiles all around.
ReplyDelete...I know a different Sharon from Canada.
ReplyDeleteWell, that was fun! It looks like she has a enjoyable, interactive routine and a real crowd-pleaser.
ReplyDeleteThanx for all the photos!! Loved the Connect(US) post by the way,
ReplyDeleteCheers
Lovely, cheerful photos of these performers. BTW, I would like to apologize for our new President's rude behavior to your PM Turnbull. The President is no gentleman.
ReplyDeleteSharon from Canada looks like she was a lot of fun! Most Canadians are! ;-))
ReplyDeleteWe Canadians sure are fun and funny!
DeleteGreat photos Grace. Looks like a fun time. Let your hair down and join the fun yourself Grace the stand-up comic. After all it is a Fringe Festival everyone is there for FUN!
ReplyDeleteI too have great respect for stand up artists, I couldn't do it! Sharon seems to have thrilled her audience, I hope they were generous with their tips.
ReplyDeleteTake showmanship, Grace!
ReplyDeleteI bet it was quite the performance
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on
It must be awesome to be able, to have the confidence to do what Sharon does. My Brother could do that, not me. Certainly ;-)
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed, Grace :-)
Hi Grace!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't do it either. Mostly because I'm not very talented.
It looks like folks were loving her!
Beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteLook at the crowd, they enjoyed it. Their face shows it. Happy friday!
ReplyDeleteThat was fun and very brave of the lady all doing it on her own with the help of strangers.
ReplyDeleteHi Grace, I doubt anyone has the posters I posted unless they are new reproductions. I found these in a museum collection.
ReplyDeleteThis does look like fun!
ReplyDeleteHow cool is that! What fun, just the kind of silliness that really makes life wonderful too!
ReplyDeleteThe crowd loved it ...
ReplyDeleteFantastic collection of photo's
All the best Jan
WOW so many good things come from Canada, and obviously, Sharon is one of them. Go Sharon Go!!!!
ReplyDeleteClearly this woman had a lot of flair, talent and people skills. Great colour in these scenes.
ReplyDeleteIf it's lost why is it so obvious?
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen her show here in Canada, though I would if she were performing. I'm sure she has fun finding four hunky dudes every show.
