What is “Upstaged?”
Upstaged is a brand new concept where YOU are the entertainment! We’re calling on ALL talent (big or small, armature or professional), to take part in our weekly Saturday brunch variety show returning this fall.
Envisioned and conceptualized by Ylia Dzlieri, Upstaged welcomes and encourages hidden talent. Hosted by Fabrika’s own Eric Jaffe, Mackenzy Molotov and other special guest hosts, the audience themselves can cast their vote each week for their favourite acts.
The best part? All skill levels are welcome! If you have a hidden talent like a good celebrity impression, or you’re an amateur contortionist, we want you to participate. This interactive brunch show is sure to be the new talk of the town!
