Merritt Mountain Music Festival

Lots O' Laughs
Active mountain Ent. expanded their offerings this year with a pre-music fest comedy mini-fest. There was an enviable, first-rate Canadian Comedy line-up-- Punchlines Improv All-Stars with Rich Elwood, Ellie Harvie & Roger Fredericks, Herb Dixon, Shawn Farquhar. We caught Bonnie Kilroe's 'Corrupt Cabaret' on Saturday night...

Bonnie Had full control of the situation: the audience, those she selected to participate...all the while flipping from Liza Minelli, to Dolly Parton, to Mae West (our favorite), to Patsy Cline, to Cher, to Tina Turner, to Marilyn Monroe, to Mary Poppins and more! This was female stand-up at a high point.

"This letter will serve as high recommendation for the entertainment that Bonnie performed for our Pensioners Dinner this year.
She put on a show that no one will ever forget. Her impersonations of many celebrities are truly to be recommended. From Patsy Cline to Cher. The evening had many laughs and not a dull moment was to be seen.
We would highly recommend Bonnie."

Sincerely,

"This is a letter of reference for Bonnie Kilroe. On Wednesday November 13th, 2002, the Firefighters Clun had the opportunity to present 'Celebrity Imposters', a multi-impersonator show, put on by Ms. Kilroe.
The feedback I received, on that evening as well as the following days, was nothing but positive. Bonnie Kilroe put on a great evening of entertainment; as well she was a great person to work with.
I have nothing but positive things to say about our experience building up to, and during the show. The Firefighters Club strongly recommends Bonnie Kilroe as an entertainer."
