Rachelle Elie’s show coming to Almonte Nov 14th!

Comedian Rachelle Elie’s one-woman show S#!t I’m in Love With You Again (SIILWYA) is coming to the Almonte Town Hall. Come for an evening of safe, socially distanced laughs. Fifty tickets only!! Doors open at 7:30 pm show at 8:00 pm. Show runs at approx 75 minutes with no intermission. $5.00 from every ticket will support the Lanark County Interval House.  Tickets HERE https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/127393243621

About the show:

From wide-eyed youthful idealism to the challenges of marriage and parenthood, SIILWYA is a fast paced rumbustious, bawdy musical romp through the ups and downs of Elie’s life. S#!t I’m in Love With You Again is a cheeky comedy that pokes fun at everything from birth, blue balls to divorce. Rachelle plays the characters of her life – her parents, her therapist, her lovers and various snotty children (to name just a few). A glitzy set and costume changes transform this love story into a fairy-tale spectacle that everyone can relate to! Original songs co-written and performed by Luke Jackson include Monogamy, I Want to Spank My Kids This Xmas and I’m Breaking Up with Jesus.

SIILWYA has been performed in Toronto, Orlando, Winnipeg, Ottawa, Montreal, Off-Broadway and at The Edinburgh Fringe. It was nominated for a Just For Laughs “Best Comedy Award”, Mervyn Stutter’s “Pick of Edinburgh Fringe” and was a nominee for the “Montreal Clown Festival Award”.
