The Disney Delusion

After a sold-out run at last year’s Edmonton Fringe Festival, “The Disney Delusion” returns to the Grindstone to kick off a summer tour of the North American fringe circuit. Comedian Leif Oleson-Cormack pushes confessional storytelling to its limit in this one-person show about a methodically moronic plan to double-down on unrequited love through a disastrous trip to Disneyland. Featuring criminal acts, surgically-altered sugar daddies, Sinatra impersonators, and a cynically-charged "coming out", this (unfortunately) true story is not to be missed.

'It really is his rawness and willingness to reveal things very few people would ever admit out loud, never mind in front of an audience, that makes this the best thing I’ve seen so far at the Fringe.'
- Fish Griwkowsky, The Edmonton Journal

“[T]he show is an unusual fusion of stand-up comedy and theatre. And it capitalizes on the particular appeals of both — the bright forward energy (and sharp-eyed comic observations) of the former, the narrative structure and momentum of the latter. Both the current and the younger Leif’s occupy the stage, in a vivid way. And they make great company for a Fringe hour.”

"The Disney Delusion" is supported by the Edmonton Arts Council and the City of Edmonton.
