Empress of Blandings Productions

  • "A young indie collective with a bent for witty, original contemporary reinventions, Empress of Blandings returns to the scene trailing laughter [and] sold-out houses."

    —Liz Nicholls, on Creatures of Impulse (2018)

  • "Hilarious….snappy witticisms and cutting jabs fly back and forth across the stage like gunfire at a spaghetti Western."

    —The Edmonton Journal on The Flying Doctor, 2016

  • "Delightful and subversive...Hardboiled succeeds on every level."

    —Karen Unland (podcast columnist for CBC Radio Active) on Hardboiled, 2020

  • "Full of poise and panache…this is exactly the kind of small gem the Fringe exists to discover."

    —Beer Tent Review Magazine on She’s Not Him and He’s Not Her, 2019

  • “Fascinating and hilarious…an amazing show.”

    - The Edmonton Journal, on The Cult of the Clitoris (2025)
