Jem Rolls is a national treasure -- articulate, funny and compelling, he somehow enthralls you for an hour with an incredible memory for detail and incisive comments on the challenges of life today. Always worth seeing (and he's everywhere every year!). The King of Fringes!
I’ve probably seen Jem Rolls perform a dozen times across two and maybe three Fringe festival locations. So obviously I’m a big fan, so if you are too, go see this! If you don’t know Jem Rolls, ask around and take a chance!
the words, the message, the rhythm... a powerful delivery of his work is engaging and touching. love it.
REWRITE: Lurking in Canadian Parking Lots
Jem Rolls isn’t creepy, he’s scary. Scary GOOD. He’s hilarious, his work resonates with anyone in his audience. Jem Rolls is funny, he’s relatable and witty, but at the core of this performance he’s an incredibly skilled poet. This use of repetition, rhyme, enunciation, and rhythm is masterful. This shoeless man’s voice will echo in my head for weeks - and i’m so inspired. I am cheery and in no way weary, i’m hypnotized by this lurky british man. Jem is a true gem (haha) of his trade, and i’m so grateful to have experienced this collection at Fringe. “Run like hell!” It’s an insane performance you have to go check out.
