New show - Heads & Tales

For Libraries and Community Spaces

Live stories - Real surprises - Zero safety net.

A hat full of titles. A room full of words. A night of stories chosen by chance.

Wit and words brought to life.

Up next: Guelph Public Library West End Branch, 21 Imperial Road Guelph July 2, 2026 at 6pm. 

One Hat. One Stage. Endless Possibilities.

As a student of theatre, Jay was captivated by legendary performers who could recite poetry, speeches, or any text at the drop of a hat. In Heads and Tales he does just that: drop the hat and entertain. 

Over the years monologues, poems and unforgettable passages have gathered in the recesses of his mind. To keep them alive, the titles go into a hat. You draw one. Jay performs it. Neither of you know what's coming next.

Every performance is different. Every draw a surprise. an evening of stories, wit and words brought vividly to life.

Come curious. Leave surprised.

This show is perfect for smaller venues, neighbourhood gatherings, fun events.
