Comedy

· Features a large ensemble cast, offering a character-driven comedy experience that stands out from the many solo shows and stand-up acts in the festival.
· The premise suggests a mix of farce, mystery and theatrical humour, with a group of guests whose hidden motives gradually come to light.

The Wounds of Love and Other Gifts
Musical
· Created by Bruce Dow, one of Canada's most accomplished musical theatre performers and creators, a Dora Award winner whose extensive credits include Stratford, Shaw Festival, Mirvish productions and Broadway-calibre work.
· Inspired by the writings of Oscar Wilde, the show combines music, storytelling and philosophy to explore love, sacrifice and human connection through a sophisticated theatrical lens.
· Features a strong creative team, including music director Ethan Rotenberg and choreographer Jeff Dimitriou, making it one of the more artistically ambitious music-theatre productions in this year's Fringe.

Potato Potato Saves the World
Comedy
