Lucas Myers returns with his lovable rural opinionator, Randy from Creston! Randy will be addressing the divisiveness or our current social situation and sharing his own very particular version of “radical redneck wellfullness”, a process which will include many tangents, a few tunes, and maybe a guest appearance. Oh and laughs. Lots of laughs. Buckle up, buttercup!

"HYPROV: Improv Under Hypnosis" starring comedian Colin Mochrie and Hypnotist Asad Mecci
The City of Trail and Trail Arts Council co-present Silver City Day's
"HYPROV: Improv Under Hypnosis" starring Colin Mochrie (of Whose Line Is It Anyway?) and Asad Mecci (World Renowned Hypnotist)
HYPROV (pronounced hip-rawv) is coming to Trail after 100 cities toured, a 70-show run Off Broadway in New York City and a six month residency in Las Vegas!!
HYPROV is "hilarious and fascinating'' (says Time Out New York) and is "catnip for those who relish spontaneity and informality," (The Wall Street Journal). The New Yorker says, "say yes to HYPROV,"!
The 90-minute live show combines hypnosis and improv - two art forms that have mystified and entertained fans, skeptics and everyone in between worldwide - for a totally unique comedy experience that The Times of London declared "a celebration of the human imagination." Your evening begins with World Renowned Hypnotist, Asad Mecci welcoming 20 volunteers* on stage to be hypnotized.
The most receptive to hypnosis then join Colin Mochrie (Whose Line is it, Anyway?) to improvise the rest of the show, while hypnotized. In the hands of two experts, and solely crafted from the volunteers' uninhibited, unconscious minds and audience suggestions, each show is an entirely original and completely unforgettable theatrical experience. Whether in the audience or on stage performing, get ready to have the time of your life!!
The most interactive comedy show in the world!

Radio Free Kaslo, December 6, 2024
I regard the theatre as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being.
— Pablo Picasso
There's no doubt that theatre — whether a West End London musical, a performance of Hamlet at Stratford, or a one-act comedy performed by a plucky group of amateurs in a small-town auditorium — can be transformative.
On today's show I sit down with actor and director Lynn van Deursen, who has blessed the tiny mountain village of Kaslo with many outstanding theatrical moments over the years. We talk about her effort to put together a community theatre group, the recent plays staged at Kaslo's venerable Langham Theatre, and chat about Lynn's take on theatre generally, and Kaslo community theatre in particular.
If you like your entertainment live and in person, you don't have to be a Kaslo resident to enjoy our conversation!
