If you haven’t been to a Tom Hearn’s hosted show, you should know that it’s an extravaganza. Always tightly directed so there’s not a wasted moment in between laughs, hence how they generally get non-stop laughs for most shows. Tom’s latest endeavour, Lipsynced was a hit at Bad Dog Theatre this past October and now it’s coming to Buddies In Bad Times for a succession of, sort-of, monthly shows starting in December (see below for dates.)

Featured drag acts include Gay Jesus, Miss Steak, The Spice Queens, Selna Vyle, Lucinda Miu, Zackey Lime, Priyanka, Baby Bel Bel, Lucy Flawless with more to be announced. What makes this run of shows so much fun is the audience gets to help decide which performers get to stay and who will have to sashay away.

“If you’re going to leave your warm cozy house in the dead of winter, it better be worth it!”

-Tom Hearn speaking about his latest show Lipsynched

The sixty-minute lip-syncing comedy parties, feature some of Toronto’s best improvisers performing scenes based on songs. At the close of every scene, contestants must lip sync for their lives with the help of the fierce Drag Assassins. Featured acts include Gay Jesus, Miss Steak, The Spice Queens, Selna Vyle, Lucinda Miu, Zackey Lime, Priyanka, Baby Bel Bel and Lucy Flawless.
