A Savage Birthday: light entertainment

A Savage Birthday has numerous comedy skits by four performers that reflect the influences of Eric Davis, the Red Bastard  at the 2009 Vancouver Fringe where the performer wears a costume with a large padded belly and behind and face fully painted.  The best of these was by Monica.Pyress Flame who demonstrated considerably physical dexterity. 

Other sketches of note were Thomas Jones as a hobo, Jim Sands as a German nazi Shakespearian and Priscilla Costa as a birthday girl waiting for no one to show up at her party.  A lot of effort is apparent in the costumes.  Some of the skits were too long for the story being told, some could have been longer.  Enjoyed the singing bits.  A bit of audience participation, especially if you want to be the one pulled onstage to count a scattering of many pennies.  Not the greatest show but ok for an hour of light entertainment if you happen to be at the Havana venue.

A Savage Birthday is on as part of the Vancouver Fringe Festival. For more information go here.
