PHANTOM SIGNAL

TALES TOO TERRIFYING TO TAKE SERIOUSLY

THE MINUTES ARE LONG AND THE HOURS ARE EVEN SHORTER

THE MINUTES ARE LONG AND THE HOURS ARE EVEN SHORTER

WELL HERE WE ARE...just twenty-four hours to go, and we're at 94% of our projected goal on Kickstarter. Some fabulous new friends have thrown into the ring and we couldn't be happier for the chance to horrify them all with The Phantom Signal Studio Anthology! Benjamin Joshua Borlase Daniel Chai TJ Dawe Yvonne Fried Bruce McPherson Sookie Mei Valerie Roberta Webb Bob Young Jennifer Zanbernard and a slew of "They-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named" We are achingly close to the finish line,

IT'S KICKING

IT'S KICKING

The Phantom Signal Alien Brain, returning from a serious mind-bender in an alternate reality, has checked in on our Kickstarter project and found it to be alive and kicking! We're just over the halfway mark on our funding goal, but we've only got about a week to go! The Alien Brain has us redoubling our efforts to get the word out and secure funding for our very first Studio Anthology. Meanwhile, Brain will be beaming out some very disturbing dreams to the general populace. I

THE MASTER PLAN WAS HARDLY EVEN AFFECTED BY THE HOLIDAY

THE MASTER PLAN WAS HARDLY EVEN AFFECTED BY THE HOLIDAY

The Phantom Signal Alien Brain woke up with a fantastic headache this morning, thanks to yesterday's unbridled holiday enthusiasm. But it was a minor setback, easily remedied by what the humans call "brunch." The Master Plan was back on track at about one-thirty in the afternoon. And boy howdy, is that Master Plan ever coming along! We've hit the one-third mark of our funding goal and The Phantom Signal Studio Anthology is that much closer to becoming a harsh reality. And who

GOD REST YE SCARY GENTLEMEN, HERE'S SOMETHING YULE DISMAY

GOD REST YE SCARY GENTLEMEN, HERE'S SOMETHING YULE DISMAY

FIRST OF ALL, here at Phantom Signal, we don't apologize for puns, regardless of their quality. Puns are for the people. Second, it's The Dreaded Holiday Season(TM), and we couldn't be more excited! In fact, we love the holidays so much that we thought we might start one of our own on a day that hasn't yet been claimed. So Saturday, December 29th is now Signal Mass! (Yeah, we hear you at the back - Irish Constitution Day, check, got it. We can share.) It's just like a regular

THE PHANTOM SIGNAL KICKSTARTER IS STARTING TO KICK PHANTOMS

THE PHANTOM SIGNAL KICKSTARTER IS STARTING TO KICK PHANTOMS

We reached 13% of our goal on the very first day of our campaign, which is highly encouraging (and exactly according to our Master Plan)! A heartfelt thanks to all those who threw caution to the wind and opted to dive in headfirst without asking the locals how deep the quarry actually is. Morgan Murray was our very first backer, and deserves special mention. His commitment to the cause has not gone unnoticed, and will certainly be reported to The Phantom Signal Alien Brain. O

PHANTOM SIGNAL PREPARES TO EXTEND ITS TENTACLES ACROSS THE WORLD WITH NEW STUDIO ANTHOLOGY

PHANTOM SIGNAL PREPARES TO EXTEND ITS TENTACLES ACROSS THE WORLD WITH NEW STUDIO ANTHOLOGY

The Phantom Signal Alien Brain has just initiated the second phase of its world domination agenda, which will culminate in The Phantom Signal Studio Anthology. Eight of our most hilariously terrifying stories will be brought to life in studio and be given full production, music and SFX treatment for maximum listener immersion. The Anthology will be released as a podcast on the human internet, and possibly a few more extra-dimensional media in the coming months (pending star a

HALLOWE'EN NIGHT'S ALRIGHT FOR FRIGHTING

HALLOWE'EN NIGHT'S ALRIGHT FOR FRIGHTING

Photo Jim Travis If you have any candy left after the last of the wee ones rapping on your door have flitted off into the night, leave the remainders on your porch for the stray teenagers (or they will egg your house) and head on down to Havana Restaurant for a very special Phantom Signal Hallowe'en Special! This Wednesday, October 31st, the gang will assemble at Havana for a 10pm performance of Phantom's classic episode "Under The Bed," probably the finest bit of Hallowe'en

SEASON FOUR IS UNLEASHED AND WANDERING THE HOOD WITHOUT A LICENSE

THE LONG, DARK NIGHT IS OVER

THE LONG, DARK NIGHT IS OVER

THE DREADFUL NIGHT, sharp-fanged and full of horror, is over. Now comes the DAWN OF EVEN MORE DREADFUL HORROR! That's right, Phantom Signal is back for a third season of nail-biting comedy and knee-slapping terror. Our live shows resume each month starting Saturday, October 7th at Little Mountain Gallery in Vancouver. Andrew, Jayson and Tara are ready to fling themselves face-first into a pit of unspeakable madness and mayhem, and they're dragging along the unflappable Shirle

PHANTOM SIGNAL IS STILL AT LARGE

PHANTOM SIGNAL IS STILL AT LARGE

Well, that's a wrap on Season Two of Phantom Signal...a very big bear hug to all of our guest performers and everyone who wiggled down into our creepy crawlspace to soak up some dank. Phantom is off for the summer -- although we do have some sinister plans (The Devil finds work for idle hands). Watch this space for updates on what we're up to, as a collective and also as lone mavericks careening headlong through our careers with no heed of consequence. Some sweet updates on t

Phantom Signal Returns Like A Bat Out Of Hell On A Rocket From The Crypt Up The Stairway To Heaven

Phantom Signal Strays Even Further Into The Fringe with David Jordan

Phantom Signal Strays Even Further Into The Fringe with David Jordan

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. We've got two brand new palpitation-inducin

The Boneyard Man Has a New Home at Phantom Signal

The Boneyard Man Has a New Home at 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). Eighty or so episodes were recorded l

Jayson McDonald Uses His Last "Get Out of Jail Free" Card and Heads Off to Family Game Nig

Jayson McDonald Uses His Last "Get Out of Jail Free" Card and Heads Off to Family Game Nig

Jayson finds himself finally free on a Saturday night, and what does he do? He heads straight to the doughnut shop, of course -- Cartem's Donuterie, that is -- because it's Family Game Night and he's been asked to do his best impression of a comedian alongside a slew of other highly entertaining sorts. Hosted by Megan Phillips, Family Game Night is an ironically titled, well-supervised, adults-only variety show featuring stand-up, sketch, storytelling and more. And goddamn

Tara Travis Cuts Out the Dead Wood and Performs Solo

Tara Travis Cuts Out the Dead Wood and Performs Solo

Signal's own Tara Travis, never content to sit around and bask in the glory of an aimless Saturday afternoon, returns to the unusual narrative of The Unfortunate Ruth, the story of two twins -- only one of whom was actually born. Writer-performer Travis's script won the Playwrights Theatre Centre and Vancouver Fringe's New Play Award in 2014, and you'll have a chance to see it February 5-7 at Studio 1398 on Granville Island. The Vancouver Sun says of Tara's performance, ""In

Phantom Signal Jumps on the JFL Northwest Train and Holds On For Dear Life

Phantom Signal Jumps on the JFL Northwest Train and Holds On For Dear Life

The cats of Phantom Signal were absolutely horrified to discover that we'd been added to the local roster of this year's JFL Northwest Comedy Festival. It's a killer line-up, so after picking ourselves up off the floor we started jamming on what elements we'd need to truly bring the teeth-grinding horror that has been so regrettably underserved in previous Northwest festivals. Tara suggested that we literally raise some hell, so that's what we're a-gonna do. Of course, to do

Phantom Signal Collides with Another Novelty Act to Make One Big Freakish Novelty Monster

Phantom Signal Collides with Another Novelty Act to Make One Big Freakish Novelty Monster

Our next live show is Monday, January 18 at the fabulous Fox Cabaret on Main Street, Vancouver. We're delighted to have Sara Bynoe and Riel Hahn from Novelty Act as our very special guests. They were both a little apprehensive about appearing on the show, but we managed to convince them that the theatre is really not all that haunted. Musical accompaniment will explode all over the proceedings courtesy of Red Hot Icicles Burning on Fire. Two brand new episodes: "At The Tone
