SUMMARY:Marc McLaughlin with Jared Doherty
DESCRIPTION:Minors Allowed Accompanied by an Adult \nTICKETS: https://app.ticketowl.io/aCS6dbYjvdJ0dlx3/event/aLHwm9IdrQozb3y8 \nMarc McLaughlin is a Canadian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from rural Newfoundland and Labrador\, now based in New Brunswick. Known for intricate melodies and introspective lyrics\, he blends indie pop and rock with a thoughtful approach. His 2023 EP\, I Don’t Want to Be Blue Anymore\, earned critical acclaim for its eloquent songwriting and quiet depth. His latest EP\, All I Can Say (February 2025)\, builds on his dreamy indie pop sound with aching sincerity. Marc has also shared the stage with and contributed to East Coast acts like Kelly McMichael\, Weary\, and Strongboy. \nJared Doherty is a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist hailing from Kamloops\, British Columbia. Adopting a psych-pop songwriting style that simultaneously takes cues from 60’s/70’s folk rock (The Byrds\, Joni Mitchell)\, more contemporary indie singer-songwriters (Mac DeMarco\, Alex G)\, and with a touch of noisy experimentalism (Neutral Milk Hotel)\, Jared strives to create lush psychedelic soundscapes that breathe around his melodic songs. Jared’s debut 7 track album ‘Small Window’ came out November 16\, 2018 on Kamloops-based Factotum Cassettes & Oddities. Lyrically\, the album deals with an exploration of perception; how viewing things through a small window can be equal parts rewarding and limiting\, melancholic and uplifting. \nTickets: https://app.ticketowl.io/aCS6dbYjvdJ0dlx3/event/aLHwm9IdrQozb3y8

SUMMARY:Chimera Theatre's The Freudian Slips Strip n Sip Improv
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:00pm Show 7:30pm\nJoin the Freudian Slips into their latest adventure into the world of improv and clothing removal for the ever saucy Strip n Sip! A tradition dating back the troupe’s roots\, the Slips take on the Strip n’ Sip form is not to be missed where our improvisers will engage in several interconnected scenes throughout the evening. The twist of course\, is the stripping and the sipping. A clock will be ticking down from THREE minutes – and within that timer they must take a drink in the context of the scene\, from our notorious shot table. If the slips forget or are unable to take a drink before the timer reaches zero\, the alarm will reset and improvisers will have to remove clothing in the context of the scene! This twist on a crowd favourite theme is sure to tickle and titilate!
