Roman Danylo is 'Roman Around the Country' in this variety comedy show consisting of sketch, stand-up, and improv. The show is both light-hearted and edgy and takes on various subjects from love, to war, to snacks at the mall foodcourt. Roman starts his show with high energy, observational stand-up, then incorporates audience members into interactive comedy sketches, all the while peppering in some of his popular characters from TV. Roman breaks all the rules of a traditional comedy show by often crawling into the crowd or bringing audience members up on stage to make them part of the experience. With all types of comedy, on a wide range of topics, this show has a little something for everyone. Once you've seen this show, you'll never need to watch comedy again!

The ghost of Don Juan is summoned from hell to repent for his sins, and to tell us the tale of his nefarious life so that we may avoid his fate. But does he truly repent? Is he a monster or a saint? He attempts to save us from our amorous errors, and deliver a sermon of universal love. In the end, we are liberated from our fears, and what we thought would be a simple evening at the theatre becomes a transcendental orgy that will change us forever.
Most nights, anyway. Depends on the audience.
*This performance is not included in the All Access Pass.

Don Alfonso, an old cynic, is determined to prove to his two young friends, Guglielmo and Ferrando, that their fiancées are not to be trusted; they are like all women. Alfonso lays his plot and tells the sisters that their lovers have been sent off to war; then he introduces them to two Albanians, Guglielmo and Ferrando in disguise. Will the women succumb to the 'Albanian's' advances? In an hilarious production from the Burnaby Lyric Opera, Motzart meets Gossip Girl as the action plays out in a modern day sorority house. Arias and quartets mix with Facebook and texting, as we discover that the ecstacy and folly of love is the same now as in 1790.
