One man, many bombs, space travel, and a young apprentice that will blow your socks (and everything else) right off your body. That is, of course, if you have a body left.

Okay, I have a confession to make. With the notable exceptions of Jack Dee and Eddie Izzard, I really don’t like stand up comedy. I’m not sure why I have this block.

Thank God. After a number of train wrecks I finally get to see a Fringe show that works. Wild Rose is the story of Tellula Rose, a delusional cosmetics sales clerk who is hoping to get discovered and find fame as a fashion model.
"We reveal ourselves with every preference," writer and performer TJ Dawe repeated several times within his latest Fringe show Totem Figures. In this one-man show, Dawe, in rapid-fire monologue fashion, revealed himself by sharing his mythologies, heroes and preferences, and a whole lot more.

Dude, Learning the Game is awesome! I was totally blown away by this play, which is beautifully written by Canadian playwright Janice Salkeld, and performed by Megan Leach with amazing energy and skill.

I’m at The Terraces Retirement Residence on 7th avenue, in a carpeted activity room, waiting for this double-bill by the On Cue Players to begin. I’m almost alone in the audience.
Higher Window and Marriage Proposal, open window and a plank reviewer = bad combination
Jem Rolls is most truly a performance poet. At 46 years of age and garbed in a red shirt, white pants and black shoes, he looks like a younger and very British version of George Carlin.
