it must have been that old bag and her hubby from england, was it? that has to be the funniest thing i saw lately, doddering old fool, and a wannabe king.
I’d sooner shave my coin purse with a cheese grater and treat my piles by swallowing balls of wadded up tinfoil than sit through dinner theatre. Their stone faced reaction is not unusual; why they were even there in the first place is the more important question.
The Dinner Theatre; the last time I went there, with a free pass I might add, there were more people playing in the snorefest than were watching it. It’s the absolute bottom of the thespian shitstick, even failed CBC’ers are better.
Always the same theme, some Caper related issue with the obligatory pogey jokes and drunk jokes etc.
The reason the groats didn’t want to share the table was that it might have stopped their dash for the exit to puke.
LMFAO Baz. I’ve heard dinner theatre defined as “Work-fare for waiters/actors who really suck at both.”
A free pass wouldn’t convince me to do to the Halifax Dinner Theater either. I’ve heard the same mixed reviews of the place.
I enjoy it… the food’s always spot on for one thing.
You’re not going to get a broadway play out of this FFS people…
and some are obviously going to be better than others.
whatever, I enjoy it every time whether the play is average or excellent.
Nothing fucks up eating out more…than your waiter being front & centre playing their ‘part’ when your drinks empty & your choking on a piece of gristle !
Here’s how I see it.
You want to be on stage…become an actor or musician.
You want a decent tip…pay fucking attention to your customers needs !
If I want to see a ‘Trouble With Tracy’episode (voted worst Canadian sitcom ever, yes, even worse than ‘King of Kensington’ and ‘Check It Out), I’ll go to dinner theatre.
Ignore this comment if you were born after 1980.
oh man, ttfn, i forgot about that show…the beachcombers was a gem compared to that. the scenery was nicer
SOBova! Fetch my Depends. TT and PG just caused me sudden uncontrolled, post-ironic, laughter-induced, nostalgic voiding of the bladder.
You could always watch re-runs of The Littlest Homo err Hobo, or Anne gets boned at Green Gables, Anne does Pit Pony, Men with Brooms, Wayne and Shuster, 22 minutes, Air Farce aaaaaahhhhh that has to be the absolute worst TV show EVER.
methinks wayne and shuster was the worst though 🙂
all those butter churning shows blow and suck
