BRIDGET & CABARET: Bridget discovered her love of Cabaret while living in New York City in the late 90’s. For the next 7 years, she would find herself nightly on the stages of some of the greatest Cabaret houses in midtown Manhattan - Don’t Tell Mama’s, The Duplex and Rose’s Turn with knock out shows like ‘Go Big Or Go Home’, ‘Have You Met My Sister’ and the award winning ‘Rant Control’ - where she won the coveted Straw Hat Award. She landed herself back in Edmonton, Alberta as HOST of one of Alberta’s favourite Television morning shows, Breakfast Television for the next 16 years but never stopped performing or creating outrageously hysterical cabarets such as ‘In Your Element’; ‘Under The Influence’ and ‘Here’s To The Ladies Who Laugh’. She may have had to get up at 330 AM Monday through Friday to be On Air - but the weekends were for travelling to some of Western Canada’s greatest Art Houses to perform cabaret. In 2015/16 she performed in over 49 different communities/cities/towns and hamlet’s and she could not have had a more incredibly wonderful time, each show ending with the audience up on their feet!
Since 2018, Bridget has called the Bow Valley home, where she and Jason Carter own and operate The Carter-Ryan Gallery & Live Art Venue; a gallery by day featuring the amazing work of Indigenous artist Jason Carter. But by night, you guessed it! Wonderful cabaret fills the walls of the gallery with song and story and yes, there is even dancing allowed!! After 16 years hosting a morning show on television, a published author of 5 children’s books, numerous accolades and awards for various MC/Hosting and charitable events , she finds herself EXACTLY where she hopes to be - performing cabaret and hopefully bring so much joy and laughter to those who join!
