The Encore Festival celebrates some of the best shows from Hamilton Fringe by offering them an encore performance at the Staircase Theatre at the end of the Fringe Festival.
Didn't get a chance to see a specific Fringe show this year? Want to see your favourite Fringe production again?
Join us for the Encore Festival at Hamilton's Staircase Theatre on August 3 and 4.
Our line-up is as follows:
Scaredy Cat - August 3 at 7 pm
Cast: Carlyn Rhamey
Award-winning storyteller Carlyn Rhamey (SAOR (Free), The ADHD Project) returns with tons of new comedic true tales of being afraid of everything. From the things that go bump in the night to scary movies, haunted houses, the ocean, everything in the ocean, everything in the water, needles, bugs, thunder, her job, wrinkles, death, FOMO, dropping a baby, Jackson Square, auditions, mystery meat, rodents, reptiles, glitter, her teeth falling out, sleepovers, dinosaurs, seaweed, cheese graters, first graders, ghosts, the cover of Goosebumps novels and her mother. Jam-Packed with stories, rants and tangents, SCAREDY CAT explores a not-so-typical but totally relatable mother/daughter relationship while childhood fears transition into real life big girl fears, and what it could all possibly mean.
Stupefied II - August 3 at 9 pm
Cast: Paul Hutcheson
Hutcheson had a very successful run with his show Stupefied at Hamilton Fringe in 2017. The premiere of Stupefied II was at this year's Hamilton Fringe. Amazed by how much still stupefies him in this world, Hutcheson will have you in stitches with his unique brand of physical comedy.

Bikeface - August 4 at 7 pm
Playwright: Natalie Frijia
Director: Mandy Roveda
Cast: Clare Blackwood
During the Victorian era bicycle craze, doctors warned women riders they would undoubtedly cultivate bicycle faces: becoming over-exerted, wild-eyed, un-sexed vulgarities, when faced with nothing before them but the wide, open road. A hundred years later, the story of BikeFace takes off. Its a one-woman whirlwind retracing a real-life bicycle adventure across Canada, challenging the outdated gender stereotype. Filled with strange-but-true tales of Wild West proprietors, haunted graveyards, and wanderers with secrets only fit for strangers. BikeFace will tickle your funnybone but, above all else, will ignite your thirst for adventure!
El Diablo of the Cards - Aug 4 at 9 pm
Cast: Ewerton Martins
Brazilian Master of the Cards, Ewerton Martins, has thrilled audiences around the world with a unique card magic style that combines improvisation, a clown’s foolishness and amazing magic skills! You will never laugh so much while being AMAZED. A previous Hamilton Fringe favourite. See him before he disappears for good.
Tickets are $15 for each show, $10 for students. Arts workers can purchase $10 standby tickets at the door.
We have no official affiliation with the Hamilton Fringe Festival.
