The Disney Delusion
After selling out shows all across the globe (Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Orlando Fringe Festival, Edmonton Fringe Festival), "The Disney Delusion" is coming to Imposters Theater for ONE NIGHT ONLY!
About the show:
Comedian Leif Oleson-Cormack pushes confessional comedy to its limits in this standup storytelling show about a methodically moronic plan to double-down on unrequited love through a disastrous trip to Disneyland on the night of the 2008 Presidential Election Night. Featuring criminal acts, surgically-altered sugar daddies, Sinatra impersonators, and a cynically-charged "coming out", this (unfortunately) true coming-of-age story is not to be missed.
About the performer:
With his playfully subversive voice and unique style of dark humour, Leif Oleson-Cormack is redefining the boundaries of queer comedy in Canada. Drawing upon his background as both a Juilliard-trained playwright and writer for the video game industry, Leif is able to craft unforgettably confessional stories that are both wildly vulnerable and hilariously relatable. Leif’s critically acclaimed one-man-show, “The Disney Delusion”, toured to sold-out crowds across Canada, the US, and the UK, earning a nomination for the Just For Laughs prize for “Outstanding English Comedy” at the Montreal Fringe. A winner of the 2019 Calgary FunnyFest Comedy Competition, Leif has performed at dozens of comedy and fringe festivals worldwide, including the Edinburgh Fringe, the Orlando Fringe, and the Grindstone Comedy Festival.

Praise for The Disney Delusion:
“Leif Oleson-Cormack shows how two things — storytelling skill and pure fearlessness — can make for truly captivating theatre.”
-The Edmonton Journal ★★★★½
"He's scrupulously fair and his account is suffused with compassion and understanding, even for the most predatory characters featured. Wryly amusing from the get-go, he keeps you hooked with the rich, morally shady detail of his story."
- The Scotsman ★★★★
“Oleson-Cormack wore his heart on his sleeve throughout his intimate monologue...well-structured and well-written.”
- North West End UK ★★★★
“Leif Oleson-Cormack shows us where the future of stand-up comedy should lie.”
