From the mind of Shane Adamczak (Zack Adams, 3 x Just For Laughs Award Nominee and producer of recent ★★★★★Fringe hits This Is Not A Love Song and Vicious Circles) comes a boy meets girl story that’s less than ordinary.

Weeping Spoon enter the second half of our epic 2015 season by bringing our hit comedy Trampoline on a 2 month, 3 city tour of the Canadian Fringe Festival circuit. The show will be playing at The Winnipeg Fringe, Edmonton Fringe and Victoria Fringe Festivals.

Joining original cast member Shane Adamczak and Director Damon Lockwood will be our new leading lady Whitney Richards, who we are delighted to have working with us for her first ever International Fringe Tour. Rounding out the touring cast are Fringe favourites Patrick Hercamp and Richard Maritzer  from LA Troupe Sound & Fury (playing the third performer roles in alternate cities).

Following the success of our previous shows Love Songs For Future Girl, A Complete History Of Zack Adams and Zack To The Future in Canada, Weeping Spoon is thrilled to be returning the Canadian Fringe circuit with our latest work, Trampoline.
