248. The Cup | Theatre, Sitcoms, & SNL | Editorial

Welcome back to the 248th episode of The Cup which is our a weekly (give or take, TBD, these are unprecedented times) performing arts talk show presented by Cup of Hemlock Theatre. With the theatres on a come back we offer a mix of both reviews of live shows we've seen and continued reviews of prophet productions! For our 248th episode we have an episode of “The Cup: Editorial” in which Co-Artistic Producer Ryan Borochovitz and returning guest Dewy Stewart pull together various threads that have been on our mind around concepts of comedy, liveness, mass media, and mass culture – which all converge into an examination of the relationship between theatre, sitcoms, and Saturday Night Live. These two discuss live studio audiences, the boundaries of comedy, and possible futures for a less exclusionary artform.Follow our panelists: Dewey Stewart – Instagram: @deweystew & @brucecomedy Ryan Borochovitz – [Just send all that love to CoH instead; he won’t mind!]; if you enjoy his theatre thoughts, more can be found at https://nextmag.ca/search/borochovitz Follow us on Instagram/Facebook/Twitter: @cohtheatreIf you’d like us to review your upcoming show in Toronto, please send press invites/inquiries to [email protected]
