ABOUT THE SHOW
But That's Another Story is a (formerly monthly, now bi-monthly) storytelling event to bring people together during these challenging times.
Canadian Comedy Award recipient Briane Nasimok and 99-Second Story Slam Grand Champion Christel Bartelse have joined forces to showcase a wide array of Toronto's finest raconteurs!
Each evening will include a variety of styles (fables, indigenous tales, contemporary works, autobiographical observations, comic essays) from some of Toronto's most compelling tellers. "But That's Another Story" is presented on the first Sunday of every month.
This Month's Tellers:
BRUCE McCULLOUCH
Author, writer, actor, film director, musician and Kid in the Hall, Bruce and the troupe are inductees on the Canadian Walk of Fame. Bruce returns to the Rivoli, the place where he and the Kids were discovered on their way to their award winning sketch comedy series.
SET SHUTER
Set Shuter is a chronically ill writer, filmmaker and storyteller from Toronto. Her COVID-cancelled one woman show, Hysterical Woman!, is coming to Canadian Fringe Festivals in 2023. Until then, you can find her telling jokes about her dysfunctional ovaries on street corners, in line at the grocery store, and at office holiday parties.
JUNE BROWN
A ghost story heard around a campfire started June on her journey as an oral storyteller. She shares her tales with adults and children and she likes to engage them through audience participation, humour, and music. Her stories have been told in libraries, schools, senior centers, and in homes for people with special needs. She has told at Festivals in Toronto, Ottawa, Alberta, and India. June is a member of Storytelling Toronto, The York Storytelling Guild, and Storytellers of Canada-Conteurs du Canada. She is a regular teller at 1001 Fridays Nights of Storytelling.
JEAN PAUL
Jean Paul’s comedic style is the perfect blend of laidback Caribbean vibes and
vibrant Toronto energy. His international comedy appeal has allowed him to
perform extensively across Canada, the U.S., the Caribbean, Israel, South Africa
and on Zoom.
CHRISTEL BARTELSE
Christel Bartelse is an actor, writer, producer, clown, teacher and comedian, known for her five solo shows which have toured across Canada, the US and twice to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. She is the creator of the Podcast all KIDding and cohost/coproducer of Chris and Christel’s Collection at the Peacock Pub. She’s terrible at updating her website but check her out at christelbartelse.com
BRIANE NASIMOK
Briane Nasimok is a Gemini-nominated writer, comedian, producer and the creator/performer of Fringe favourite, “Confessions of an Operatic Mute”. A current member of the Storytelling Toronto Board, his television credits range from YTV’s “Uh Oh” to MTV’s “Test Pattern”. Briane had a previous career as a Canadian film star, which is why most people don’t know him. He also has a website – brianenasimok.com.
