Tim Webster

Tim Webster is pleased to be making his second appearance with Merlyn Productions alongside his darling wife of 26 years, Xiamana! He was last seen performing the solo piece “On the Harmful Effects of Tobacco” for ChekhovFest 2014.

Tim began performing publicly on a children's television program in 1977. He moved on to stage work in 1984, and once his degree was in his hand in 1991, he immediately began eking out a living in a variety of ways — as most theatre majors must, or starve.

Tim performed educational theatre with Phoenix Productions (1994 - 2000), produced liturgical sketches for Riverwood Church Community (1999 - 2010), taught Drama to Junior and Senior High students at The King's School (2003 - 2011), and engaged in political satire with the BS Comedy Players (2008 - 2019). He has gleefully indulged in improvisational comedy with the Crosseyed Rascals since 2001, and you may not recognise him as the erstwhile pirate, “Captain Braggadocio”: perennial daytime host of the outdoor stage at the Winnipeg Fringe Theatre Festival since the turn of the century.

Tim has worked for the Rady Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Manitoba since 2004, and recently completed his master's of education degree. He would like to take this opportunity to deny the completely unfounded rumour that he has had elective plastic surgery to crop his naturally-pointed ears.
