Canada's premiere hip hop comedy act is about to burst onto the Toronto Fringe for the very first time. Hot off the launch of their debut rap comedy album, NOTORIOUS is bringing their trademark quick jokes and dope beats to Tinder on the Toilet (and other bad ideas). Equal parts live concert and comedy show, NOTORIOUS is thrilled to bring its unique brand of comedy to fringe goers this summer at the St. Vladimir Theatre (620 Spadina Ave.) July 5-14.
But though this may be their first time at the fest, it's not their first rodeo. Coming off a huge year including a four year anniversary show with Colin Mochrie as well as the release of their debut album Overnight Success II, NOTORIOUS is poised to make a big impact with audiences this July. With live music, sketch and just enough improv to keep things dangerous Tinder on the Toilet (and other bad ideas) is perfect for hip hop and comedy fans alike.
"Rap is innately funny. The greatest rappers are all very, very good at cracking jokes. It's an art form that is built for it. Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar are all hilarious" begins producer Mat Mailandt. "The only difference in what NOTORIOUS does, is that we prioritize the jokes in the raps. But the flows and the music are all still dope. Otherwise what's the point?"
Led by multiple Canadian Comedy Award winning director Reid Janisse (Second City, One Night Only) a cast of top Canadian comedians will be performing not only original comedy raps, but also some of their favourite sketches and songs for 55 beautiful, air-conditioned minutes. The cast features Mat Mailandt (2016 Outstanding Artist, Calgary Fringe) Tricia Black (Bad Dog, Second City House Co.) Antony Hall (Funniest Show, 2013 London Fringe ) and Ryan Sheedy (Bad Dog, Catch 23.)
NOTORIOUS will perform Tinder on the Toilet (and other bad ideas) July 5-14 at the Toronto Fringe Festival. For press package and more photos please email holla@notimprov.com. For full show times please visit notimprov.com.
