OR, IN OTHER WORDS:
Inspired by the bygone variety shows of televisions Golden Age, Whitemans (pronounced Wit-Mans and its for everybody!) is an honest homage to a forgotten era while remaining a dark and sincere commentary on the roots of North American comedy.
The Whitemans Whiskey Comedy Revue is at once an imaginative musical revue, sketch comedy and absurdist drama that comes equipped with one of Montreals finest jazz ensembles, the Buck Wheaton Trio.

WHAT WE NEED & AND WHAT YOU GET:
The Whiteman's Whiskey Comedy Revue is a big team. Between your beloved core cast of Dick, Nicky, Chester Knuckles and Professor Smoats, new special guests for our overseas show, and of course the formidable Buck Wheaton Trio (actually a quartet of Montral's finest jazz musicians), not to mention designers and stage management, One of Everything for the Boys becomes a huge undertaking for our small theatre company.
Since its inception in 2006, SideMart has always paid its nationally-recognized collaborators a fair, union wage. Your donations will assist this process by financing essential production elements such as the musicians, sets, costumes, and a portion of our publicity campaign.
