The city is abuzzin and excitement is getting high
And some protesters are making signs because the Olympics are nigh
But as the Cultural Olympiad is starting to finally unfold
And the Push Festival wraps up their theatrical stories being told
Some local producers are continuing with a regular theater season
But the caliber of the two I saw it […]

The West Coast Report – it’s once again time
So here comes 2010 and I will do it rhyme.
Of the first three shows I saw it was an even score
With one show quite great, one good and one poor.
The first was a classic – a fab way to beginnia
It was about George & Martha and their […]

I got the chance to interview the amazing Canadian Theatre Icon Daniel MacIvor. I am a little wiped from my new day job so I sound a bit tired. Hope you find it interesting.

Hey there
Olympic fever is ramping up in Vancouver - one side protests and the other side celebrates. Personally I am getting excited that I am living in an Olympic City and although not a sports nut by any stretch of the imagination I hope Canada does win a Gold Medal on home turf. You may […]

Hey there Canada - last Vblog for awhile. Get out and support art, make art, be art.

Westcoast Ambassador Culture Vulture VBLOG
This is my first monthly report - it’s a little long and I tried to not make it too much about a specific show but about issues and things that would be interesting to the rest of Canada. The cool stuff is at the end.
Thank you Janet Glassford you rock.
Enjoy. Let […]

So here we are - one day away from the debut of my darling and daring TV show which I worked on with so many dear friends.
Tops & Bottoms debuts Sunday August 30th at 7:30pm et/pt and I am very excited and nervous.
I have appeared on a few TV shows before - I even got […]

When is a cultural classic an offensive work of art? Should censorship be applied to past works based on modern cultural standards?
I went and saw a musical that is being produced not once but twice in the Greater Vancouver area. Up first was the Theatre Under the Stars version of Thoroughly Modern Millie. Written in […]

Sometimes the gay community can be a little sensitive.
We are often persecuted or abused or attached that we can be a little jumpy. You can only listen to so many news stories and right wing pundits preaching hate before you start to suspect that injustice is everywhere.
I ran afoul by whipping up a small storm […]

What is it about fags and musicals? Is it a gay thing? Are lesbians tapping their toes and clapping to the beat?
Musicals are such a part of the gay man’s life that there us a whole sub-section of queers that seem to define themselves almost too aggressively as being anti-musical.
I often make my little Dodge […]

Fridays and Directors
Hello – long time no report – I have dived into the dating pool (again!) and I am very distracted by this one very smart and sexy but complicated guy.  Why can’t people come with instructions - or even drawings? I just recently bought a GPS for my car. I only learned to […]

Hello again,
It’s been awhile - I was off traveling in Barcelona and Rome and then when I got back I went right into production for a great play called Stop Kiss. The story of the repercussions of a first kiss between two women.

I don’t know what happened - if I suddenly started exuding confidence, or pheromones or started wearing nice shoes but I am in a dating dervish right now. The guy that I made out with a gay ski week is still in contact and although I think he might be too young for me (he’s […]

My comedy company The Bobbers has always used risque names for our various productions. Although we pride ourselves on clever and clean comedy are various shows have been titled Tops and Bottoms, Spreading Christmas Queer, The Quickies and our radio show Aural Only.
But our upcoming Valentine’s show has proved to much for some people.

Now the […]

The City of Vancouver has bee shrouded in fog for the past two weeks! Why?
Is it the provincial government trying to cover up the raising costs of the Olympics?
Is is Vancouver City Hall trying to obscure the mess of the construction caused by our new underground Skytrain?
Is it all the single men in Vancouver trying […]

It’s time in this harsh economic climate to take a moment and think about those who need our help, those who have it worse off then you.
First off for GLBT students The GLBA in Vancouver has announced a special scholarship called Loud.
The Board of the Gay and Lesbian Business Association [GLBA] has launched a new […]

As we come to the close of another year I thought it would be good to reflect on the gays in Vancouver who blew me away. Most of these people you probably haven’t heard of but they are doing such cool things they humble and inspire me.
In random order….The Top Ten Gays…
1)    Spencer Herbert – […]

Well, Olympic Fever is starting in Vancouver this week as one of the first completed venues opens to the public for inspection and approval. Visitors to the City of Richmond Olympic Oval will also be entertained by performing artists from my company “C” is for Comedy Events. From hip hop dancers to puppeteers we will […]

Okay I have become more and more cranky with my evenings out. I walked out of the play Bruce The Musical! (too boring) and performance art peice Anu Love (too indugent) but luckily there has been some bright spots.
I never laughed so hard as I did at The Drowsy Chaperone at the Vancouver Playhouse. The […]
