Ready to Turn the Lights Out on the Toronto Fringe? James & Jamesy present IN THE DARK

Celebrated British comedians James & Jamesy reach new heights of hilarity and depths of profundity with their production James & Jamesy in the Dark, July 5 - 16, 2017 at the Al Green Theatre as part of the Toronto Fringe Festival. Hailed as "one of the most popular Fringe duos ever" (CBC) James & Jamesy's latest theatrical excursion is performed entirely in darkness, with the only light originating from custom-built, illuminated costumes. Amidst this void, the duo employs their unique brand of British comedy to conjure an adventure of discovery, friendship, and creation.

James & Jamesy in the Dark begins in blackness. Soon, two chaps, who each believe they are alone in existence, happen upon each other. The encounter launches them into a series of physical and philosophical discoveries, overflowing with intricately layered wordplay. As they navigate this inky limbo, they conjure an adventure around creation itself. The visually spectacular show is a painting come to life; a rich, raw encounter that blends the playfulness of Pixar with the existential ponderings of Beckett.

While touring to Fringe Festivals across Canada, the work has earned a litany of accolades, including Just for Laughs 'Best Comedy' and 'Most Creative' nominations at Montreal Fringe and the 'Patrons' Pick Award' at London Fringe, as well as five star reviews from CBC and the London Free Press.

Praising the production, CBC stated, "it's like watching two big imaginative kids in a tent with flashlights, as they bring to life a whole world and invite you to step inside."

James & Jamesy in the Dark offers fresh perspective on the fascinating characters of James and Jamesy, who's previous two productions - High Tea and 2 for Tea - entrenched the duo as Fringe Festival royalty, having performed across Canada more than 150 times each. More than 50,000 audience members have relished their unique, signature brand of imaginative, joyous art.
