Episode Guides

Bacon
Improvisational theatre from twisted, twisted minds.

Blue Peach
In 1995, I wrote a series of adventures called “The Fabulous Secret Adventures of Eight Feline Cohorts”, detailing the adventures that I imagined our cats got up to when we weren’t looking. Ten years later, I asked a variety of talented voice actors to take on the voice roles of the cats and ran the entire series on Quirky Nomads.

I thoroughly enjoyed the project, and when it was over, I decided that I wanted to create a new series, starring a group of humans this time, set in the city of Toronto. And so Blue Peach began.

Clara 73
When Tim Ralphs and I found ourselves accidentally almost writing an entire audioplay via email based on Tim’s mispronunciation of the words “Krapow Chicken” as “Kaow Chicken” in a voice-directed recording and the fact that Tim’s Irish accent is almost as bad as my British accent, we decided we should put our creative energies into something that would be interesting to more than just two people.

Darling
A couple of years ago I found a box filled with a woman’s most treasured memories, and created a show all about her life. I knew the odds of it ever happening again were a trillion to one, and so I decided to create my own imaginary box belonging to Malvina Steiger-Clayworth, whose formative years were lived in the Roaring Twenties, in the middle of Boston, Massachusetts.

Beep
The fictional stories behind real thrift store answering machine messages.

Imaginary Memories
Intertwining stories from characters who inhabit the same world.

Circus of Mosquitoes
Remember playing the game “Operator” when you were a kid? You’d whisper a phrase to the kid next to you, he’d whisper it to the kid next to him, and so on. This is the QN version.

Quirky Quiz
In the eighties, the other kids invited their friends over to play with Atari. I invited mine over to create audio shows. The Quiz is the adult realisation of that dream - bossing my talented friends around while they amuse you by playing Just a Minute, creating stories on the fly, imitating William Shatner, and revealing just how little they know about their own country. Who’s wearing the crown? I AM.
