What Rhymes With “I Polled Gout?” September 17, 2006

I SOLD OUT!
Yes, here in Vancouver I sold out my very first show on tour, and I thought that ship had long sailed after Edmonton.  This was my next-to-last show and finally, FINALLY it happened!  If there is one thing I learned on tour this year, it’s that you never know what’s going to happen [...]

The Kurtamorphosis September 14, 2006

I’m halfway through my run here, and last night’s show after four days off was a hoot.  A bunch of other performers came and – no surprise to me – were delighted to find that Rebel Without a Niche was far far better than they expected after reading the Canadian press.  They sat in the [...]

Amidst a Four Day Break September 11, 2006

The West Coast suits me.  Here in Vancouver I’m having a good time, and that may partially be because I know this is my last stop and I know I won’t have to start over again in another city.  Also, hey, it’s Vancouver!  Can’t go wrong there.  It’s nice to just go out, flyer people, [...]

Nice Online Review September 10, 2006

I got a nice online review from Review Vancouver.  Here it is:
Writer/Performer Fitzpatrick kept us entertained in this 60-minute one-man show.  This New York-based performer is the stereotype of the smalltown boy that goes to the big city in search of fame and fortune, and ending up trying to survive working at odd jobs.
In this [...]

The Package It Corey Haim In September 8, 2006

I indeed floated over on the ferry to Vancouver. I ran into Alex Dallas, Shirley, and the cast of The Package It Came In on the bus and then we all ran into Rachelle from Joe the Perfect Man, who was there with her two little boys. We could have had a Ferry [...]

I Heart Victoria September 5, 2006

I have wrapped up my run here in Victoria. My 3:30pm show yesterday had a decent little audience which featured volunteers, performers Alex Dallas and Ryan Paulson, and some real-life paying audience. I had my first standing ovation for Rebel Without a Niche! Usually for me a standing ovation is when [...]

Some Sort of Reality September 2, 2006

I checked out Buchart Gardens and Miniature World. Miniature World is “The Greatest Little Show on Earth!” It’s a bunch of tiny towns and little war reenactments, with doll houses and such. If you look closely into some of the doll houses, you can see interesting things going on. I saw [...]

Every Day Above Ground is a Good Day August 30, 2006

The Times Colonist came out today in Victoria with reviews.  There is an enormous picture of me inside with the headline “Flat Gags and Wild Wit.”  The “Wild Wit” is referring to the Pajama Men.  And…  Yeah, we all know the rest.
I’ve had two shows so far.  The first night I was a little unfocused.  [...]
