It’s always 1973 in Bert Xanadu’s Toronto. As its longest-serving and longest-suffering mayor, he presides over a city as fantastical as a drip-dry shirt, and a cinema --- the Imperial Six --- as glamorous and subdivided as Ethel Merman’s last will and testament. He does it with panache, impatience and dyspepsia, but who’s counting? From the thousands of scintillatingly coherent pronouncements he has made, these are truly the most available! “@MOVIEMAYOR makes me genuinely laugh out loud.” --- Actor and Comedian Brent Butt “Bert Xanadu is to Toronto what Dame Edna is to snobbery: a satire more accurate than the real thing.” --- Giller Award-Winning Novelist & Poet Michael Redhill “As if Groucho Marx had a Twitter feed! Bert Xanadu is reckless, imaginative, unpredictable. An immensely gifted creation.” --- Anthropologist & Author Grant McCracken
