This was the best show of the tour we’ve had to date. We performed in Estevan, Biggar and Quill Lake, Saskatchewan. Working with David Dick, Colin Loat and Luke Friesen was fantastic. These guys were absolutely stellar. We did a lot more interaction with the audience on this tour. I wants asked a guy in the show: “Anyone like on the farm?” one guy piped up, “Yep, only 1 mile from town!”. “That’s great,” I said, “best of both worlds”. I took a moment to think about it then added, “..as long as the town’s still there.”
We got fantastic acclaim, 2 standing ovations from 3 shows, houses of over 200 people each night and InterVisceral Productions was able to make a profit out of the whole trip. Others don’t reallize a tour like this takes 2 years to plan. I don’t know where we’ll go next but I really feel it made a huge impact on those who watched. The Economist bit was worth spending an extra weekend to update.
Keep your eyes open, we may bring it back to Winnipeg for one more glorious show.
