Call them men with a mission.
With their latest solo plays, longtime Fringe Festival performers Andrew Wade, Paco Erhard and Ed Hill are tackling topics near to their hearts.
His lifelong pursuit of honesty over happiness led Wade to create The Most Honest Man in the World which premiered in Saskatoon in 2015. In this 60-minute show, which runs in Inglewood’s Lantern Church Fellowship Hall until Aug. 6, Wade builds a lie detector and then straps himself in.Article content
Wade has been fringing since premiering his first solo show at the Victoria Fringe in 2011. Though this is his first time at the Calgary Fringe Festival, Wade performed at the city’s Jubilations Dinner Theatre in 2019 and in 2020 .jpgSince making his debut at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2010, German-born writer, actor and stand-up comic Paco Erhard has appeared at more than 50 different festivals in Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Singapore, Malaysia, Britain, the U.S. and Canada.
“I ran away from Germany when I was 17 but I was really running away from him and the life he would have wanted me to have. Now my father is battling dementia, so I went back to get to know him before it takes his mind away. People who have seen the show tell me it hits very close to the relationship they’ve had with a parent and they’re grateful it was so funny.”Article content
