Leave the stress at work and just have a good time. MASHUP is here for some real fun.

MASHUP PON DI ROAD is a Jamaican bashment circus on a big truck--an outdoor, vaudeville style, island-kissed variety show pulling up on city streets.

Fusing raucous humour with whip-smart cultural critique, MASHUP PON DI ROAD pokes fun at the constraints of the patriarchy, the expectations of womanhood, and the end of the world as we know it.

Through a series of vignettes and songs, two ringmasters and their band of colourful misfits rum punch up at the ruling class, giving you a funhouse mirror look at the sheer absurdity of dis oppressive world.

The preview party is at the Assembly Park (80 Interchange Way) in Vaughan July 19 at 9 p.m. Tickets are free and the gates open at 8 p.m.

Show dates are July 21-23, 9 p.m. at the heart of Little Jamaica, Green P Lot, 1531 Eglinton Ave West,  and July 27, 9 p.m. at the Bentway, 250 Fort York Blvd, Toronto.
