Bernie’s Bistro


3 episodes


Full cast Comedy Serial Audio Drama


Synopsis:

Bernie’s Bistro is a 3-episode comedy written and produced by Kitchener’s popular Backyard Theatre in cooperation with Jony Studios in Waterloo. Bernie is a recently retired civil servant who approaches the world wearing rose coloured glasses (and spandex) and is equipped with all the business acumen you would expect from 35 years of working in government. His first plan? To launch a vegan restaurant in the middle of cow country. The only one with half of a chance of talking Bernie out of his “get poor” scheme is Amalie – his 29-year-old daughter who is brilliant at business but not so brilliant at managing Bernie (or her love life for that matter). A fast-paced story in the slow-paced fictional town of Scottsville, Bernie’s Bistro is a laugh a minute romp about relationships — and rutabagas. Backyard Theatre acknowledges the support of the Canada Council for the Arts.
