Tottering Biped Theatre is proud to announce a season of powerful theatre drawn from the incredible talent of Hamilton and surrounding area. Our aim is to provide a new platform for the incredible work emerging from Hamilton’s Indy Theatre scene while bringing in quality professional work that would not be seen in Hamilton. This year’s programming will be hosted in the Robinson Memorial Theatre at McMaster University.
November features the celebrated sketch comedy work of the Tita Collective, TITA JOKES. This team of Filipin* artists have been wowing crowds from coast to coast with their hilarious show that thoughtfully honours and celebrates their identities as Filipinas and stories of the Philippine diaspora in an inclusive and respectful way, uniting community through joy and laughter.
SYNOPSIS: Tita Jokes is a musical comedy revue that centres the Filipin* people in our lives, specifically the female elders we lovingly call Tita. A love letter to our community, it explores our struggles, heartaches and resiliency, and how we cope through humour, storytelling and song. Tita Collective is an all-Filipina collective composed of award-winning playwrights, comedians, musicians, dancers, theatre makers and actors who tell the stories about the Filipinx diaspora. “NNNN – You don’t need to be Filipinx to get all the jokes in this hilarious musical sketch comedy, but … you might wish you were.” – NOW
