International Fringe icon TJ Dawe shows the hilarity of the working world with The Slip-Knot. Breathing life into the mundane, Dawe
recounts working three dead-end jobs - as a merchandiser at Shopper’s Drug Mart, as a Trace Mail clerk at Canada Post, and driving a giant truck. On April 21 and 22, the common threads of these three stories are sure to resonate with you from being the new person on a job, to the gut-wrenching feeling of having made a big mistake, to trying to make a long-distance relationship work, and even white-knuckling it on a crazy road trip.
Dawe performs a spellbinding performance that never misses a beat, with only three mic stands, holding three lights that are overlaid with coloured gels. The three interwoven stories he tells are set apart by the three different coloured lights, and as he stands in front of them, he begins
to recount three entry-level jobs where he mans a giant truck, becomes the unhelpful voice
on the other end of the phone line, and compiles product euphemisms while
he stocks the shelves in a drugstore. The stories all run
parallel, and as he moves between coloured lights to tell another piece of the story, they all begin to connect.
“The exceptional thing about the show is the way that he’s telling three stories from different points in his life, from different jobs that he had. The way that the stories interact, weave around each other and refer to each other in different ways that you
don’t fully understand until the end of the show, is incredible,” says Chris Reid, the Chilliwack Cultural Centre’s Technical Director, who is a big fan of Dawe’s work and has seen The Slip-Knot no less than ten times. “Through the entirety of the show, the story jumps back and forth through time and different jobs, creating a picture that isn’t complete until the end. Then you get to see all of the connections, and how it all ties together. It’s a really cool journey to go on as the show progresses.”Playwright, director, actor, and dramaturg, TJ Dawe has a name that’s become synonymous with Fringe. He regularly performs his fourteen autobiographical solo shows around the world, has won numerous awards for his work. His play Toothpaste & Cigars, written with Mike Rinaldi, inspired the movie What If, which starred Harry Potter’s Daniel Radcliff. The Canadian Theatre Review has called him “Canada’s most prolific writer of autobiographical monologues” and it’s no surprise why.In addition to his performance while in Chilliwack, Dawe will guide a group of aspiring solo show performers through the process of How to Create Your Own Solo Show with a two-day intensive workshop, on April 21 and 22. Local participants will have the opportunity to join the award-winning playwright/actor/director to learn how to turn their ideas into a solo performance piece. The class runs from 12:00 to 5:00 pm, April 21 & 22, and costs $200. Registrations are still open.The Slip-Knot is coming to the Chilliwack Cultural Centre on April 21 & 22 at 7:30 pm. Tickets are $25. To purchase tickets, or to register for How to Create Your Own Solo Show, contact the Centre Box Office, online at www.chilliwackculturalcentre.ca, or by calling 604-391-SHOW(7469).The Slip-Knot is sponsored by: Aromatica Fine Teas, Myriad, The Chilliwack Progress, the British Columbia Arts Council, the BC Touring Council, the City of Chilliwack, the Province of British Columbia, and the Department of Canadian Heritage.

A veritable soundtrack to a whole generation that will ‘carry you home’ ... maybe not to Birmingham ... but back to a time of tie-dyed t-shirts and elevator shoes, 15¢ coffee and homemade apple pie, dating and dreaming ...
