FRESH from a celebrated Canadian Tour for an exclusive one-week Adelaide season comes a quirky, comical, heartfelt journey. Meet Harry. He lives for routine. How will he cope when Mr Herbert, screeching tyres and an overly positive personal coach intervene? "You can't do that, that's not how you use LEGO." Exquisite movement, quirky characters, and one very tasty clock will make you laugh, squirm and cheer for Harry. Delight in this entertaining examination of one man's inability to deal with confrontation. _x001C_ Get your hands off me, I do not need embracing._x001D_ On this one day Harry is forced to face what he has avoided for so long, the child inside the man. _x0018_ When Harry Met Harry_x0019_ is a must see this summer, having been recently selected to tour FIVE more Canadian Festivals in 2011.

Very convincing, very funny, very well acted and really got the audience into it._x001D_ Don, Vancouver. _x001C_ Saw your show on your last night at the Winnipeg Fringe. Great show! It was hilarious! It was one of the best shows I saw at The Fringe this year! Best of luck to you and hope you come back again!_x001D_ John Gonzales, Winnipeg. _x001C_ Another brilliant one-man show from actor/writer Allan Girod who gave us last year's Fringe hit, "The Good Thief". He switches effortlessly between two characters and his tragi-comedic portrayal of an obsessive-compulsive middle-management-man is brilliant! I highly recommend it!_x001D_ Christine Faye, Winnipeg. "Very funny, very clever and disturbingly thought provoking about the truth that lies within everyone." James McKibbin, Perth
