Seriously in need of some artistic direction (any direction really), Signal has cast out its net and snagged one of the city's most elusive denizens: David Jordan, A.D. of The Vancouver Fringe Festival. A self-acknowledged "disaster on stage," David has kindly agreed not to second guess his decision to join us and instead add his ineffable charm and questionable performance instincts to the freewheeling chaos that is Phantom Signal.

Phantom Signal's spiritual predecessor, The Boneyard Man, now has a new home! Chronicling the exploits of millionaire playboy and amateur detective LePage Cranbrook, The Boneyard Man is a radio noir parody that ran as a live stage show in London, Ontario from 1998 through 2015, performed by The Natural Broadcasting Company (Jeff Culbert, Dean Harrison, Rachel Jones, Jayson McDonald, Scott Pinkerton, Virginia Pratten and Jeff Werkmeister).

The Continuing Adventures of The Boneyard Man can be heard here. #Comedy #JaysonMcDonald #BoneyardMan #RadioNoir

There are only 40 tickets or so (goddamn we like to keep t
