UPCOMING SHOW
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 4th 2011
A very long time ago, A Pretty girl asked If we were going anywhere with this. Now, unlike what you might assume, she was not asking this whilst tied to a bed, but rather in a movie theatre.
You see, she was asking if we were going to make a Shadowcast of Repo, The Genetic Opera.
...and So we did. We were Brave, Intrepid, and Then Some! Pioneers of Maximum Audacity, whose Resumes Show that we are just the Team to Live where others merely Dream.....Building up a head of steam....On the Trail We Bla -No, hold on......Sorry...Thats The Road to El dorado.
BUT THE POINT STILL STANDS!
We went out, grabbed onto this idea, and held on for dear life. And here we are, two years later, On the Same stage, doing a much better show than last year, and Still rocking yours, ours, and their socks off. And If that isn't reason to celebrate, I don't know what is.
Did anyone really expect anything less than Fantastic from us?
We've got a few surprises in store for you, A few new twists, shakeups, shakedowns, pat downs, feel ups and smack downs. Its more fun than you can stick a shake at, Including a reappearance of part of the Necromerchant's Debt, the original 10 minute Opera that Repo is based on! This time without the music glitching and rebooting itself. Hopefully. Lols.
So With that much awesome under one roof, how can you resist missing the show, knowing that if you aren't there, you will have missed a major milestone in you life? Its November the 4th, at Club Saw as usual, Door is at 8, Curtain at 9, and Anyone in a Repo costume, or cake for the cast (its our birthday ya know), gets a free button. And anyone with Birthday hats gets a hug.
See You at the Opera!
Check out the Facebook Event for more details...
Details coming soon... Stay tuned!

AUGUST 5th 2011
Have you ever woken up, looked around, and not had any idea where you were?
If you're anything like me, your answer was either "Perpetually" or "JESUS CHRIST WHO WAS THAT TALKING JUST NOW?!"
The answer is Waldo. Now shhh, people are trying to converse.
Anyways. Where was I... lost my train of thought... OH YEAH! Being lost and confused. Its more fun than a barrel of pigs and a semi automatic cheese grater. In fairness, lots of things are more fun than that. Still, its important to take notice of such things. Moreover, Its important to just stop, look around, and Say "Whats This?" And really, thats what we're doing. We're taking a moment to look around , to hush, question what that sound is, to look at what is going down, and tip our hats to it. (A Phrase which here means Notice that we have a new cast lineup, and that excites us, sexually) So that's excellent. Going into Year 3, what madness.
But it's Exciting! New Gags, New Addicts, New Necros and New Boobs, all this and more at the Necromerchant's Payment: What The Fuck Is This?!
On August 5th at 9pm (doors at 8pm, grab a pair of binoculars, your best dress shirt and something slinky, and come out to Club Saw to see the only Show that Promises to Thrill your Chill. Tickets are 10$, Zydrate is 2$, Buttons are $1(and grab those, we're getting a whole new design after this month!) and if you happen to see our fliers on the street, nab them, they're worth free zydrate. One per addict, though.
JULY 8th 2011
You say you want a Revolution...well you know...We're all kind of fine with that.
You tell me that its Evolution...Well You know... It's a Genetic Fact.
But when you talk about Destruction... Don't You know that you can Count Us In.
Don't ya know its gonna be... Zydrate
Don't ya know its gonna be... Upgrades
Don't ya know its gonna be... Repo!
Now, I could go on with this all day, but fans of the Beatles will utterly disembowel me, and I'm kinda fond of my innards. Well, more to the point, I haven't paid them off yet, and I would hate to ruin the merchandise before its truly mine.
So, As year two wraps up, we look around, and have come to a startling conclusion. Not only are we still here, but the building hasn't been lit on fire whilst we were performing. That's nice, isn't it? I thought so. So, in celebration that we have been performing for nearly two years, we are going to be reshuffling the cast again. Now, that doesn't start until August, but that does mean this is the very last show with our current Cast Arrangement. Last time to see Cady do her Amber hip sway, Last time to watch Kristy really not enjoy bug collecting, last time to watch Curtis throw panties into Christopher James Jennings's face. Frankly, I'm going to miss it.
That said, the new cast list will be splendid, but lets give this one a hell of a sendoff, shall we? So, July 8th, on Lets raise a glass, Pull Planets out of Timelocks, and throw a Revolution! It'll be at Club SAW, 67 Nicholas st, (just find the bronze Lady Justice, and look down.) Door is at 8, Curtain at 9, and Tickets are $10 at the door, $490.50 in Advance.
JUNE 2nd 2011
If there is one thing that we, the Necromerchant's Payment, value more than anything else on this great planet we live on, its Cheetos. But Directly under Cheetos, it's a nice MLT, a Mutton, Lettuce, and Tomato sandwich, where the Mutton is nice and lean and the tomato is ripe... they're so perky. We love that... Anyways, Besides these delicious things, What we value most is Being Yourself.
Now, It sounds a bit After School Special, but It truly is one of the best things ever. The World beats down on you, telling you How you're meant to act, What you're supposed to look like, Who you're expected to love. And Instead of just accepting that, You stand up, give the world the finger, and carry on your merry way. And thats Fantastic. And the Bravest, it could be said, is being honest about your sexuality. Because like it or not, even in this modern 21st Century world we live in, people still get disowned, get hated, because of who they love. And that's absolutely Aweful (The hatred, not who they love.) So, In Honour of the bravery of those Men and Women bold enough to tell the world to fuck off, and who are themselves, regardless of the opinions of the masses, We The Necromerchant's Payment are doing something a little different this month. To Celebrate Pride, We are doing a full out Drag show. Boys will be Girls, Girls will be Boys, Locals will be Tourists, we are just throwing the Switch on the whole thing. Its going to be a blast.
All that, Plus a new Preshow from a most amazing German, and its a night that will blow your mind off. So, On June 2rd, pack up, Switch in, Strap on, and Rock out to Club SAW at 9pm (Doors open at 8pm). Whether its to Support Pride, To Rock out, or simply because you are Dying to see Curtis in a skirt, We hope to see you there! Tickets are still $10, and Anyone who comes in drag gets free Zydrate.
So much Pride you won't know who's what and where's when.
MAY 6th 2011
Confrontation. Such a fun word. What does it make you think of? Its like glass, reflecting who you are, but edged, and can cut like a knife. It also has the words "Con" and "Front" in it, and almost has "Nation", so clearly its good times. What does this have to do with your Friendly Neighborhood Necromerchants?
Good question. In this situation, its because its the theme of the month, the theme of the preshow, and the theme of the movie in a lot of ways. Plus it sounds fun. Now, generally, we would keep the preshow under wraps, but this one is just so fantastic that we can't help but give you a teaser. Its a brand new preshow, of a fairly famous song. Its been performed by all sorts of people, from Robert Cuccioli to Nicholas Goddard to a certain Baywatch star. Its amazing, and had Robin practicing it in his kitchen for ages before he had worked it out enough to bring to the cast to suggest as a preshow. It should be Fantastic (Not to oversell it).
But Confrontation also has a darker edge, facing our darker selves. To tear ourselves open and stare inside, rearranging things until it looks like something we'd like to lie about being, and then stitching ourselves back together with silk and steel, our chest cavities stuffed with maggots to stave off infection. And thats exactly what we intend to do.
So, on May 6th, sharpen your scalpels and harvest some maggots, and come out to Club SAW at 9pm (Door opens at 8pm for a show you will never forget! Tickets are $10 at the door or $415.67 in advance, and as always, zydrate is $2! Anyone in Repo costumes gets a free Necromerchant's Button, else they're $1. It promises to be a hoot and a half.
P.S. The medical procedure mentioned with the silk and maggots was common place surgery procedure in the 19th century. Be glad you live when you do.
APRIL 1st 2011
So...Ya know that part in "The Restaurant at the End of the Universe" where Ford Prefect is explaining the Origins of the Universe, by talking about getting a Jacuzzi, and filling it with fine white sand, then filming it as it drains, before running it backwards so you watch the Jacuzzi filling with fine white sand... yeah... I like that part.
Anyways...so it's April, which is a very special time of year. For one, It starts to rain a lot, which is important for a large number of Horror movies, Romantic Comedies, and for small children splashing around. It also has Easter, which is the one time of the year where the Genetic Crossfertalization of a Rabbit and a Chicken is praised instead of having its brains dashed out for being a mutant freak, which is also fun. But most importantly, in this here situation, we are having an April Fools Show!
Last Year we didn't get a chance, due to our preoccupation with protesting plagiarism (CURSE YOU JUDE LAW) and such, So this year we are going to redouble our efforts, and bring you more hilarity than you can stick a shake at.
So on April 1st, be prepared for the most outrageous show the Necromerchant's Payment have ever done! Full of ideas that were originally shut down for being too hilarious, this show will make you laugh until you die. No, Really. Bring an Emergency Contact Number. It's important. And make sure that someone knows that you're at Club SAW, for the show at 9pm (door is at 8). $10 a ticket, $2 for Zydrate, and More Mirthful Merriment than you'll know what to do with!
BAZINGA!
MARCH 4th 2011
A Long Time Ago, Longer Now than it Seems, with a Cast that you've probably seen in your Dreams...the Necromerchant's Payment didn't have a March show. Its not that we don't like March or something, its simply that things got muddled, we switched the times of our shows from the end of the month to the begining, and March got lost in a wave of brief interpersonal attention spans and unrequited time rifted lust.
Point is, We've never had a March show, til this year. HOW EXCITING IS THAT?! Obscenely, thats how exciting it is. Obscenely Exciting. So we have a killer show for you, Chock full of so much Marchity and Marchness and Marchesque hijinks it can barely survive under the weight of its own awesome. But it does, At least long enough for it to rock your socks right off, and back into your dresser drawer. Its that intense. Oh yeah.
So on March 4th at 9:00pm (Door at 8), Everybody Lock and Load, Rock and Roll, Look Left, Look Right, Everywhere you look, you'll have your mind BLOWN ( So maybe bring a Hat, no one wants to look at the aftermath of THAT.) and come out to Club SAW to see the Necromerchant's Payment, Ottawa's ONLY Repo Shadowcast, performing in their first ever March show! Tickets are $10 at the door, $435 in Advance, and space is Limited. Zydrate is $2, and Pins for a Dollar. Plus, anyone who comes in a Repo costume gets a Free Pin! And pictures with the cast, because we will love you forever.
FEBRUARY 4th 2011
This February, come and fall in love with Repo! The Genetic Opera. What is it about Love, that keeps us so enthralled? Hundreds of thousands of billions of songs, and books, and Movies, and Books on tape are about love, and yet we as a people clearly are not sick of it. Hell, we have a whole day Devoted to it, in all its Chocolate covered goodness.
As such, we at the Necromerchant's Payment thought it would be high time that we sat down and had a little chat. And by Chat, we of course mean about 2 hours of Mayhem, Madness, Murder and Music, with an unhealthy dash of Sentimentality and Candied lovings.
So, on February 4th, Pull on your boots, stitch your heart to your sleeve, Zap yourself with a doze of Zydrate for the pain, and mosey your way out to Club SAW, 67 Nicholas St, for a night you'll remember forever. Door is at 8, Curtain at 9, with the Ticket cost still $10, and For anyone not in Valentines Clothes, or a Repo outfit, Zydrate is $2. And yes, It is 10 whole days before the Official Valentines day, but We didn't want sloppy seconds.
