Always A Bridesmaid: Van City’s HOTTEST Tickets

I’ve often think that I live under a lucky star, albeit one that seems to have a sense of humor for the ridiculousness.  One of the things that I am most fortunate for is a wealth of wonderful friends!  Being Thanksgiving weekend, I am reminded of that every which way I look.  And some of these friends are up to some very cool and creative things.  These ones are probably the dangerous ones for me as they get my mind a buzz with excitement and the desire to follow them down the rabbit hole.

Two such friends are Mark Leiren Young and Ian Ferguson. Most recently these two gentlemen have decided to go down the rabbit hole together, in pursuit of Ian’s fabulously funny and talented gal, Kirsten Van Ritzen.  You see Kirsten has created and written an absolutely hilarious new romantic sitcom, Always A Bridesmaid.  And being as these cats love doing things in their own unique way, they’ve decided to film Always A Bridesmaid in front of a live studio audience.  This I might add is the first time this has been done in Vancouver with a sitcom.  Have been to two tapings now. It is a hoot and a great piece of fabulous theater for the even more fabulous price of $0.

Up until now, I’ve been keeping these HOT little tickets a secret from all, except hummingbird604 and clippernolan (I did after all need some arm candy), so I didn’t have to fight for tickets when I wanted them.  Starting to feel a little selfish though, hoarding all the laughs.  So here is the deal people.  To get your hot little hands on tickets to one of the upcoming episodes of  Always A Bridesmaid, email the show at bridesmaidaudience@gmail.com and give them the following information:

• Your Name
• Your Contact Email
• Your Contact Phone Number
• Preferred Dates
• Preferred Time

The episodes tape weekly on Saturdays at 3 pm and 6:30 pm between now and December 19th, 2009.  You need to be there 45 minutes in advance of tapings.

Aside from that, taping are happening at Global TV Studios, East Gate Entrance at 7850 Enterprise Way in Burnaby B.C. Oh and you must be at least 16, which I’m suspecting you are if you’re reading my site.

Upcoming Episodes Include:

Oct. 17 “My Gay Husband” featuring Brian Sutton, Kirsten Kilburn

Tommy is convinced that the flamboyant groom is gay – and sets out to prove it. Bob pretends to be Sam Spade. And Mariel is trolling an online dating service. (Will she ever notice that Nick still loves her??)

Oct. 24 “Pretty in Pink” featuring Stephanie Wolfe, Conan Graham, Ken Lawson, Ellie Harvey

An 80’s theme brings back memories for Mariel and Nick as they host a wedding for their old high school rivals, the perfect popular couple. Then the crazy German musicians arrive. Food fights, lederhosen, an explosion in the kitchen, and a whole bunch of lies . . . gesundheit.

Oct. 31 “Cougar Wedding” featuring Gwyneth Welsh, Andrew Francis, Matthew Smalley

An attractive older woman is marrying a frat boy – who just happens to be her son’s best friend. Awkward!!! And Tommy morphs into Debbie Allen when he choreographs a hip-hop wedding dance.

Nov. 7 “Stranger Danger” featuring Irene Karas, June Wilde

Its inventory day and the boutique is a disaster. Not a good time for the city inspector to come calling! Meanwhile Nick is on a date and she is suspiciously skilled at pole dancing. Then a box of fireworks go missing. . .

Oh and I forgot to mention the terribly sexy, incredibly talented and oh so funny cast.  They include: Kirsten Van Ritzen (as Mariel), Donnelly Rhodes (as Bob), Veena Sood (as Blaga), Chelan Simmons (as Savanna), Vincent Tong (as Tommy), and John Emmet Tracy (as Nick).  Oh and just saying, the rest of you missed out this last weekend on the irresistibly sexy Stephen Lobo (from Godivas).  Wow is he HOT to watch!  And not that I’m bragging or anything, but I didn’t get to just watch him (and yes he totally makes you feel like an oh so very dirty voyeur), but I also got to sit nice and close to him over drinks afterwards. mmmm…….
