Comedy show a real Fuster Cluck

You can’t bring the whole fam damily but you can still enjoy the Fluster Cluck.

No chickens will be harmed in the making of this comedy show, but some side splitting may occur and there’s no promises on the condition of your funny-bone.

Fluster Cluck is a new comedy project by Steph St. Laurent, the actor-comedian who brings Prince George its regular dose of improvisational theatre made by his Improv Schmimprov group.

Now he is forging new territory with this new series at Sonar Comedy & Nightclub.

“Fluster Cluck is basically the love child of Jeopardy and The Debaters,” St. Laurent said.

“There is a cast of comedians and I’m the host, the game master. I’ve provided them with some questions and they’ll come back to me with their creative answers when the time is right in the show.”

There is a game show set, unique production lighting and other effects, and some wireless technology involved, as well as the slick comedy and the Sonar setting all aiding the atmosphere. It’s for those aged 19-plus.

“Sonar does standup comedy every week, but this is something different for them, and it’s certainly a new kind of project for us,” St. Laurent said.

“Even I don’t know what’s going to happen,” he added.

“We can’t really rehearse a show like this. I know what the questions were because I wrote them, but I have no idea what their answers are going to be.

“They are getting themselves ready, but I can’t get ready for them and they can’t get ready for each other.”

The three inaugural comedic actors taking their places on the starting line of this joke show are Mark Wheeler, Allan Dawson and Cody Malbeuf.

The intention is to hold a Fluster Cluck show every couple of months.

The very first is March 8. Tickets are $10 at the door. Showtime is 8 p.m. and doors open a half hour earlier.

The next edition of Improv Schmimprov is March 31 at 8 p.m. at Artspace, with special guest star Jon White opening the evening with his standup comedy.

It’s open to all ages.
