The Emergency Monologues
Presented by Drinking Well
Featuring Morgan Jones Phillips
The Emergency Monologues are true tales from Morgan's 13 years of experience as a paramedic in downtown Toronto which paints a realistic picture of what it really means to be a paramedic. You’ll hear about the gritty, ridiculous, bizarre and true side of the “emergencies” that don’t make the news. These are hilarious cringe worthy tales that will make you think differently about people who call 911 and the people who answer the call.
Every show is different with different stories, so see it early, because you'll want to see it again! With the help of the Wheel of Misfortune to decide the stories for the evening, The Emergency Monologues is an ever-changing storytelling adventure.
It’s hard to believe how hard you’ll laugh at stories about blood, poo and vomit, but comedy = (tragedy+time) X gross.
Performed to sold-out audiences from Vancouver to Cape Breton.
Winner of Best of Fringe in the Toronto Fringe Festival
Winner of Audience Choice Award at SummerWorks.
Made into a five episode TV special for Bell Fibe 1.
“Gripping and hilarious”, “Highly recommended”, “Master storyteller” -The Toronto Star
(4.5 stars out of 5) “…an engaging storyteller with the gifts of comedic timing, stage presence, and a decent singing voice.” -Jessica Buck (The Torontoist)
“NNNN (out of 5)” “Brutally honest, macabre and often hilarious.” NOW Magazine
