Vancouver Is Awesome is a proud media partner of the 2013 PuSh Festival! Throughout the festival the folks who run things will be bringing you intimate features from behind the scenes to the front lines.

We asked PuSh Festival Executive Director Norman Armour to give a few recommendations for a wide variety of audiences and this is what he had to say!

WHAT PUSH FESTIVAL SHOW WOULD YOU RECOMMEND FOR...

A newbie to PuSh

Show: Winners and Losers

Why: If this doesn't grab your interest, mischievous, intellectual hate strings, and make you want more, well then shut the front door.

A couple on their first date

Show: Ballet BC's Encore

Why: The choice of entertainment will prove you have class, taste and smarts.

A couple on their second date

Show: Ride the Cyclone

Why: You want to be sitting beside someone you can scream and hold hands with. It's a scary, scary fun ride.

A person looking for a date

Show: Cédric Andrieux

Why: Everyone coming out this show will be so uplifted and feeling oh-so-human, no one will stand being solitary. Simply hang out in the lobby looking available.

A group of friends looking for a fun night out

Show: The Strange Undoing of Prudencia Hart

Why: Hands down the choice for drinking buddies and singing couples night out.

A budget conscious arts lover

Show: Sometimes I think, I can see you

Why: It's free….

A technology junkie

Show: Haptic + Holistic Strata

Why: This guy's work is straight from the Matrix. Heck, he is the Matrix.

A foodie

Show: Anything involving a Dine Out Vancouver package in the Act 1, Eat 1 series.

Why: Seriously…. it's a deal, a steal and lip-smacking good.

An adventurous thrill seeker

Show: Do You See What I Mean?

Why: You can't get any riskier than donning a blindfold to be led by a complete stranger for 2.5 hours.

A book worm

Show: Human Library

Why: Come on… As Buffy the Vampire said, does the word "duh" mean anything to you.

A pop culture junkie

Show: Northern Soul, 30 Cecil Street & A Western

Why: Three young, UK groups from Bristol and Brighton… hands down the pop culture kings and queens of the 2013 PuSh Festival.
