Lorne Elliott Returns to ArtSpring
Make no mistake — Lorne Elliott returns to Salt Spring Island with his side-splitting one-man show,
The Collected Mistakes IV. Appearing at ArtSpring for the third time, after two
previously sold-out performances, Elliott presents his fast-paced evening of hilarity at 8:00pm on
Wednesday, February 9 2005.
This quirky Canadian icon of comedy needs little introduction. As host of CBC Radio's
Madly Off In All Directions, and national treasure of comedy & music theatre,
Lorne Elliott is loved for his madcap, crazy, intellectual, and foolish satire.
With well-crafted talents, Elliott is renowned for his uplifting brand
of original entertainment that goes straight for the funny bone. Ever changing, fast-paced
and unrelenting, Elliott’s shows prove why he has the audiences coming back, year and year,
night after night.
His work first caught the attention of CBC Radio, which aired one of his concert
performances on "Definitely Not The Opera." It was greeted with such enthusiasm
all across the country that it was rebroadcast on "Sunday Showcase" and "Morningside".
In 1996, he began starring in his own CBC Radio comedy series titled
"Madly Off in all Directions". After eight seasons as the host, Lorne decided in
2003 to take a leave from the radio show. Fast, foolish, and with lots of laughs, Canada’s
enduring king of comedy performs at ArtSpring one night only, Wednesday, February 9 (8:00pm).
