What happens when a beloved British farce collides with a pair of seasoned performers who love to push each other to the edge of laughter? In this episode, actors Mike Nadajewski and Julia Course talk about bringing Tons of Money to life, corpsing on stage, and the art of comedic timing.

They share stories from their early days at Shaw, how trust builds between scene partners, and what it means to stay present and spontaneous night after night.

Mike Nadajewski is in his 9th season at the Shaw Festival, with credits including On the Razzle, Damn Yankees, and The President. He has performed across Canada and internationally, including eight seasons at the Stratford Festival and on Broadway in Jesus Christ Superstar. His screen credits include Murdoch Mysteries, The Understudy, and Stratfest@HOME.

Julia Course is in her 15th season at the Shaw Festival, where her roles have spanned Gaslight, Sex, The Glass Menagerie, and Baroness and the Pig. She has also performed with Theatre Animal, Nightwood Theatre, the Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre, and Canadian Stage. A graduate of the National Theatre School of Canada, she holds an MA from the University of Guelph.
