Crispin Glover Tours With What Is It? [Vancouver]

Crispin Glover is an interesting character. Not your typical leading man, he has managed to make a career for himself as an actor who takes on oddball and strange rolls and alongside his fairly eclectic hobbies, he’s developed an almost cult-like following.

I’ve never been a huge follower of Glover’s but he’s a bit of an enigma and that holds some appeal for me and apparently for a whole load of other folks. Glover is currently touring “Crispin Hellion Glover’s Big Slide Show” which features a one hour slide show presentation, a screening of one of his films and then a Q&A. The show will make a stop in Vancouver for a three night engagement at the Pacific Cinémathèque on July 18th, 19th and 20th and will feature a screening of his directorial debut What Is It?. For a mere $20, you too can be enlightened by Mr. Glover.

I plan on being there, opening night, to take in the spectacle and maybe, just maybe, have a moment to corner Mr. Glover for a quick chat. Wish me luck. In the meantime, be sure to check out the strange trailer for the film tucked under the seat!
