A couple of summers ago, this page took in The Only Animal's production of Other Freds, a poignant and very funny look at what our lives would be like if they were just a little different. The production took place between the ferry docks at Granville Island, and (literally) in False Creek itself. It was one of these things one had to see to believe, and be amazed. Unfortunately, the show lost money because the company never had the promotional resources to bribe this city's celebrity & crap-obsessed entertainment media into recognizing this show was brilliant.

Fortunately, The Only Animal is back with Dog Eat Dog, playing this week at the PuSH festival. The show isn't just based on a true story, it's based on five true stories of people trying to hold on to humanity in a world that chews them up like so much kibble. The show plays until February 4. Show up for tonight's performance (8:00 PM, Performance Works, Granville Island) and tell the folks at the box office "I have a dog bite" and get your ticket for only $15.

And now back to The bear604 show, already in progress....
