Because I Can

*Because I Can* features reliably funny Toronto regulars, Sandy Jobin-Bevans, Mike ‘Nug’ Nahrgang, Jim Annan, and Kate Hewlett in Allison McWood’s surreal, almost Monty Pythonesque, comedy about a manipulative podiatrist, his urban-phobic patient, an insecure male nurse, and a Romanian janitor wise beyond his position.

The script is both the strongest and weakest element of the production; although filled with clever wordplay, droll and matter of fact exclamations, and impressively fast paced back and forth exchanges, it also sets any sense of narrative arc or character development aside, putting the burden on the jokes and actors to do all the work. Thankfully the cast deliver expert performances making for a hysterical, if not particularly well rounded show.

_Because I Can continues until July 12th as part of the ongoing Toronto Fringe Festival. You can find out more information including showtimes "here":http://www.fringetoronto.com/fringe09/indoorBYOV_listings.html#B or_ "here":http://www.becauseicantheplay.com/
