Toys

Boys with Toys

Toronto alt-comedian Winston Spear’s performance piece features him and two associates fooling around (carefully choreographed fooling that is) with flashing toys and gadgets of every ilk to the constant accompaniment of techno beats.

There’s no moral lesson, no political message, no story, no theme, just three men, oodles of cool lighting effects, some bubbles, a flying saucer, a robot dog, and plenty of imagination. It’s not up to the standard of “ooh-ahh” material like Blue Man Group or Cirque du Soleil, but as far as Fringe shows are concerned, it’s most definitely a unique and psychedelic experience - even if not particularly a challenging one.

_Toys continues until July 11th as part of the Toronto Fringe Festival for more information you should go_ "here":http://www.fringetoronto.com/fringe09/indoorBYOV_listings.html#T
