Eat Your Heart Out with Morro and Jasp

November 2013
100 pgs with b/w illustrations
Tightrope Books

Clown sisters Morro and Jasp take you on a journey through their
favourite recipes, their most intimate thoughts, and their deepest
desires. A comedic multi-faceted and interactive book that involves
recipes, comics, stories, poetry, dramatic scenes, illustrations,
collage, photographs, pie charts, essays, and treasure maps to every
kind of delicious. Inspired by their award winning show, Morro and
Jasp: Go Bake Yourself, this is the clown sisters’ first foray into
the wide world of publishing, and a whole new way to explore their
relationship with each other and with their audience. Easy to make
recipes as well as fun challenges to your culinary craftsmanship. Eat
Your Heart Out is an entertaining guide to help you learn to love
playing with your food again. Eat up and enjoy.

“You might end up covered in flour, but it’ll be well worth it.”

Alison Broverman, The National Post
“Two of the most original clowns on the Canadian scene” Richard
Ouzounian, Toronto Star, 2012

“Funny and touching, it’s a Fringe winner.” FOUR STARS
Jon Kaplan, NOW Magazine, 2009
“A must see for everyone.” Eleni Deacon, Eye Weekly, 2009
“Barely controlled comic mayhem…winning charm and lots of humour” êêêê
Jon Kaplan, NOW Magazine, 2012 – Morro and Jasp: Go Bake Yourself

Ludicrously, laugh-a-nanosecond funny” Dorianne Emmerton, Mooney on
Theatre, 2012 – Morro and Jasp: Go Bake Yourself
“The clown sister act has whipped up yet another gleefully funny and
participatory experience…whip-smart” Steve Fisher, Torontoist, 2012 –
Morro and Jasp: Go Bake Yourself
“Eat your hearts out, Gordon Ramsay and Martha Stewart…Morro and Jasp:
Go Bake Yourself transforms the Factory Theatre upstairs bar into a
comedic test kitchen where anything can happen (and it does)…As usual,
the audience gets involved, and things get messy (watch out for flying
food!)…This quick hit comedy is a guaranteed recipe for fun.”
Theatromania, 2012
“Gleefully irreverent comedy that’s so sweetly refreshing you forget
it’s intended for grownups” Serafin LaRiviere, Xtra, 2012
