Lets Assume I Know Nothing And Move Forward From There
At long last Toronto Renaissance Man Kelly Clipperton debuts his one-man-lady-cabaret-show Let’s Assume I Know Nothing And Move Forward From There, a wildly entertaining evening of personal stories embedded in songs from Kelly’s catalogue, and popular favourites from the past. You may know Kelly from his bands, short films, photographs or his fabulous costumes; in Let’s Assume I Know Nothing… you get it all.
Directed by Toronto theatre veteran Naomi Campbell, and accompanied by a hot 5-piece-band featuring Janet Whiteway (piano), Tak Arikushi (guitar), Oriana Barbato (bass), Carrie Chesnutt (saxophone) and Karl Anderson (drums), Let's Assume I Know Nothing... tells the fabulous and colourful story of this out and proud 55-year-old, tempered by the loss of his father, the legendary community leader and award-winning musician Gary Clipperton, from vascular dementia.
Hilarious, heartbreaking, exhilarating and engaging in ways that only Kelly can be! March 4-16 at Factory Theatre.
