When a captain of industry trades his pinstripe suit for overalls and retreats to a hundred acre farm, the residents of Persephone Township raise their eyebrows. Weekend farmers are a common enough sight, but this man seems to think he can make a living with a broken down racehorse and a single furrow plough. Letter From Wingfield Farm is the story of one man's attempt to embrace a less complicated world. In a series of letters to the editor of the Larkspur weekly newspaper, Walt Wingfield tells of the people and events of his first year as a man of the soil.
In his third year on the farm, after two profit-free seasons, Walt finally pinpoints the economic source of his problems and embarks on a course which brings him to his most profound crisis to date. In this sequel to Letter From Wingfield Farm and Wingfield's Progress Walt sets up a closed economy with his neighbours, prints his own currency and falls in love.
In his fourth season on the farm (and his first as a married man) Walt Wingfield tries to preserve the memory of the old rural community of Persephone Township by promoting the crumbling Hollyhock Mill as a museum site. But the locals say the mill is haunted. Undaunted by such superstitious fears, Walt sets out to prove to the neighbours that there's nothing to this curse business - with near disastrous results.
As the first frosts come to Persephone Township Walt and Maggie Wingfield are all set to welcome new life to the farm. She's expecting, and he's nesting. But Walt is alarmed about the old feuds that divide the neighbours and disturb the tranquillity of the community. His attempts to mend other people's fences meet with a resistance as stiff and cold as the weather itself. And the biggest challenge to them all is looming on the horizon.
A devastating fire at the Orange Hall in Larkpur leaves it a smouldering ruin. Walt Wingfield leads the charge to get it rebuilt, but lighting a fire under his fellow committee members proves a daunting task. Is it courage they lack, or is the devil in the details?
Recorded in March 2025 at L'Européen in Paris.

In this new creation, Pablo abandons his caricatured persona as a reactionary editorialist. The spirit and tone remain satirical, of course, questioning the evolution of our society over the last thirty years. Family, sexuality, new technologies... these are just some of the themes on which Pablo shares his vision and his (entirely personal) truths against a backdrop of 90s pop culture—the years of his childhood!
Recorded at the Casino de Paris from January 7 to 9, 2022. A great night out is the perfect time for Kyan Khojandi to recount the best night of his life in the form of a multi-layered story in which he and Navo brilliantly employ their signature running gags and rapid-fire delivery, taking the audience on a truly intimate journey filled with playful nods to pop culture. This show offers 90 minutes of humor, a fireworks display of clever ideas, and a brilliant finale that pays a final tribute to “Bref,” the comedy sketch series in which Kyan Khojandi takes center stage.
Following "Dépendance affective" (Emotional Dependency), Tristan Lopin is back with a second show, intended to be both more intimate and personal, but also—and above all—more socially engaged. Proof of this: in "Irréprochable" (Impeccable), Tristan, influenced by "the people who live in my head," ventures to talk about feminism, the climate, and other subjects as divisive as they are "important," such as Loana's career, or even people who wear Birkenstocks. The 35-year-old comedian also tackles serious subjects in this one-man show.
A King and Servant find themselves in the clutches of a potential Witch, however his deals seem too good to be true...
In his second season on the farm Walt faces a new challenge. The spectre of urban development looms on the Seventh Concession and Walt sounds the alarm. Can he mobilize the neighbourhood to save the rustic splendour of Larkspur? Does Larkspur want to be saved? Wingfield’s Progress is the story of Walt’s passionate response to a threat only he perceives. Larkspur and its residents are back at their hilarious best in this sequel to Letter From Wingfield Farm.
