The Disney Delusion

Comedian Leif Oleson-Cormack pushes confessional standup to its limits in this critically acclaimed one-man show about a desperate attempt to double-down on unrequited love through a disastrous trip to Disneyland. Featuring criminal acts, surgically-altered sugar daddies, Frank Sinatra impersonators, and a cynically-charged "coming out", this (unfortunately) true story is not to be missed. Experience this Fringe festival hit, which has toured to sold-out crowds across North America and the UK (including the 2023 Edinburgh Fringe) and was nominated for the Just for Laughs Prize for Outstanding English Comedy.

“Leif Oleson-Cormack shows how two things — storytelling skill and pure fearlessness — can make for truly captivating theatre.” - The Edmonton Journal ★★★★½

“Leif Oleson-Cormack shows us where the future of stand-up comedy should lie.” -View Magazine (Pick for ‘Best of Hamilton Fringe’ 2022)

"He's scrupulously fair and his account is suffused with compassion and understanding, even for the most predatory characters featured. Wryly amusing from the get-go, he keeps you hooked with the rich, morally shady detail of his story." - The Scotsman ★★★★

“Oleson-Cormack wore his heart on his sleeve throughout his intimate monologue...well-structured and well-written.” - North West End UK ★★★★
