Lorne Elliott
Friday, October 22 8:00pm
Forum, Harrison Hot Springs Resort
Tickets: $20.00
Canada’s comic genius Lorne Elliott returns to Harrison for an evening
of comedy and music; totally original, entertaining, up-lifting and
foolish enough to make everybody laugh.
Elliot will perform his latest one-man show entitled "The upside of the Downturn". Of the show Elliott says, "the way the One-man show works is by not staying in one place too long. It's harder to hit a moving target. We have different names for the different tours, and I'm always writing new material, and right now it's in an interesting state. Hopefully, that should always be the case. New stuff emerges pushes old stuff out, old stuff resurfaces and gets put back in with new twists added to it, themes and threads and monologues interweave in new ways, which in turn engender other ideas.
Lorne Elliot says of himself "I was born so far back I can hardly remember and grew up normally, I think. I started going on stage at a time when hair like mine was fashionable, and somewhere around that time people started laughing at me, and I saw no reason why I shouldn't join them.”
Elliott, a proud Canadian, has performed from Newfoundland to New York City, from Los Angeles to Australia and points in between. Lorne started performing in 1974 as a folk musician in East Coast Canada. At the same time he kept writing fiction as well as songs, monologues and one-liners. Along with his unique and wacky performance style, it is the timelessness of his material, joined with keen observations of today's trends that make Lorne Elliott's work so special.
Elliott has performed his one-man show in theatres, universities and clubs. He opened concerts for Rodney Dangerfield in New York City and Jay Leno in Montreal. He has made regular appearances at the Montreal Just For Laughs Festival since it started in 1986: each time his segments were selected for TV Specials, thanks to their universal quality.
In Canada he has a number of TV specials and "Madly Off In All Directions", a weekly CBC Radio Comedy Series. In the U.S. he has appeared on numerous talk shows and Variety shows. Currently Lorne tours his one-man concert show "The Collected Mistakes" on the stages of North American Theatres.
