It’s 1997, the future. Snake Plisskin must clear his name, and if he feels like it, save Canada. The Canadian comedy hit of 2024 finally comes to Victoria! A visual feast with heart-pounding action sequences, uproarious physical comedy, and dynamic shadow puppets, “Escape From Victoria” is sure to be the action-comedy event of the summer. Rod Peter Jr. (“Kitt and Jane,” “The War of 1812”) teams up with Tamlynn Bryson (“Bedwetter,” “(in)decision”) to deliver a high-octane rollercoaster of entertainment. The dynamic duo masterfully pay tribute to genre films while infusing their own comedic twist that promises to leave audiences in stitches. This must-see event will leave you gasping for breath, wiping away tears of laughter, and relishing in the sheer joy of live theatre.

About the Artist
Rod Peter Jr. and Tamlynn Bryson join forces to create a hilarious and electric duo in “Escape From Victoria.”
Tamlynn made her Fringe debut at the 2015 Ottawa Fringe and has been touring her solo shows (“Bedwetter”, “(in)decision”) to festivals ever since. Celebrated for her impeccable comic timing and magnetic stage presence, Bryson seamlessly slips into the role of Snake Plisskin.
