The Montreal podcast that asks the cast of “The Adoption”: What’s a story of you being romantically rejected? That question submitted by fellow Montreal Fringe performer Leighland Beckman back in episode 256.
The St-Ambroise Montreal Fringe Festival is in full effect with A-Z programming starting TODAY! The Fringe Park is open, shows are happening live and in person and it is really starting to feel like festival season is finally back in Montreal after 2 long years of being (somewhat) muted by that pesky global pandemic.
One of the hottest tickets at this year’s show is shaping up to be none other than “The Adoption” and we are beyond excited to welcome all three stars to Go Plug Yourself to talk about their upcoming Fringe show. Eve Parker Finley, Nicky Fournier and Amanda McQueen were all gracious enough to join Inés and I at the back of Grumpy’s to take a meandering walk through failed romantic endeavors, fruity pebbles, celebrity crushes and everything in between.
And I meant what I said about “The Adoption” being a hot ticket, the show is already approaching sell-outs on multiple nights so go to MontrealFringe.ca and get your tickets now.
