WYRD Productions

Canadian Stage Company presents the Necessary Angel and WYRD Production of HARDSELL, following in the footsteps of the last Miller/Brooks hit Bigger Than Jesus. 

An endless torrent of jokes, jingles, voices, and people, including Richard Dawkins, Stephen Lewis, Morgan Freeman, Bugs Bunny, and Rick Miller, invade the mind of a defenseless clown and ruin his life. HARDSELL boldly examines the commodification of everything. With a tour de force performance by the electric Rick Miller, HARDSELL is a multimedia extravaganza that slyly exposes the lies inherent in advertising.
