thing goes wrong and high jinks ensue. For their pot luck
contribution, Randy and Marnie are going to bring a pound
cake; unfortunately, it becomes flattened with a bang when
they decide, spontaneously, to make out like wild animals,
on the couch, on the floor and, finally, on the pound cake.
They have nothing else so they bring the flat pastry anyway.
For the Lockwells’ pot luck Bernard brings out a haggis.

“Amazing how Bernard always finds food even when there
is none left in the house,’ Says Marge, her speech still
slurred. “Our son, Manny came over yesterday while I was
out. Bernard and Manny always get into big fights.”

“Aye, but our days of fighting are over as of yesterday,”
Bernard begins, but instead continues, “Try some Haggis!”

With that the play ends.

His name was Fire Comet, and he

wanted to put on a little show with

fire, a chainsaw and a unicycle. Dressed in a pair of jeans
and an old shirt, he gathered a crowd of around 300 people
before starting his act. With the help of five people,
including myself, he managed to pull off three hilarious
stunts. Four of us had to hold the bike in position for
around twenty minutes while the fifth man took off his
shirt and put on a
silver fireproof
mask, and big
silver fireproof
shorts that
looked ridiculous
on the 50-year-
old man.

Then the
Comet man lit a
spray can and
held it between
the fifth man's
legs. He said this
was to test the
suit. Afterwards,

Marshall. Harras performed in this theatre, the Deep Cove
Shaw Theatre, in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and in Of Mice
And Men, of which she was also assistant director. This play
was presented at the Deep Cove Shaw Theatre from May 20
to June 6 by the First Impressions Theatre Company.

Fire Comet lit the man’s head gear
and told the audience to make a
wish before he blew it out. Then he
proceeded with the real stunts.
First he juggled three flaming
batons. Next he juggled an egg, a
bowling ball and a chainsaw at the
same time. Then he stripped down to a G-string. He looked
_tather funny wearing army boots and a silver G-string.
Following that, he mounted the 12’ unicycle which four
of us were still holding in position. The fifth man, who was
holding the three torches, threw them up for Fire Comet to
catch, Fire Comet then juggled them while riding the unicy-
cle wearing only his
G-string! The audi-
ence couldn't stop
laughing. Every
now and then, he
activated a gas con-
tainer beneath his
seat and lit it. A
ball of fire shot out
from under his seat
and it looked as if
he was farting fire.
