About The SHOW SHOW
The SHOW SHOW features aspiring hosts Ruth Goodwin (The Howland Company) and Liz Johnston (Bad Dog Theatre) as they interview theatre artists and comedians about life in Toronto as a performer, on their show, about shows.
Eager to conduct the greatest interview of all time, The SHOW SHOW is a mishmash of various styles—one minute it’s a lip sync battle, the next it’s Theatre Brouhaha drunk in a living room. Directed by the incomparable Jacqueline Andrade.
Ruth Goodwin and Liz Johnston
Ruth and Liz are Toronto based performers who have been friends for far too long. Liz is an accomplished improviser and sketch comedian who performs regularly with Bad Dog Theatre and the Monkey Toast Players. Ruth works as actor and producer and is a founding member of The Howland Theatre Company. You can also catch them both on TV plugging the occasional Tim Horton’s Breakfast Wrap or Kit Kat bar. They get along great. Here is a horrible picture of them in high school. @Ruth_Goodwin @LizJohnston12
