A silly show about a serious subject, the harmful, money obsessed anti educational corporate take over education. In its silliness it still manages to hit corporate greed with a sledge hammer.
As a Fringe rule any performer who appears in underwear deserves to be seen.
It was difficult for me to process the rap lyrics but the prose interlude between songs provided the backstory and nuance about masculinity that the song lyrics were trying to convey. Alick Mac seemed to be a humble, likeable, empathetic person.
This show deserves a bigger audience. The male comics were GGG good giving and game. Their reaction to pain eye opening and funnier than their set.
After a mild chiding by the host I was won over by the premise. That is what I like about show business. Do a bit that makes the audience react.
Well researched and presented professionally by a seasoned performer. The show was sick, serious and humorous at the same time. As a side note I was glad to see the Trump and maga bashing. I was glad to see some Canadian anger.
Consistently humorous throughout. Sometimes it was uncontrollably funny. It did not have one weak sketch. The local humor easily translated into universal absurdity. I wished the show could have been longer.
A high energy graphic performances about sex and Sam’s sex life with a sidebar about her mother and religion leading leading to a positive take on self worth.
Some very amusing tampon bits mixed in and somewhat related to a chair and a second wedding. It was an enjoyable hour.
Four flamenco dancers, a great guitarist and a vocalist both individually and an ensemble were mesmerizing in arm and hand movements, steps and beautiful dresses. I especially enjoyed when they hiked up their dresses and the intricate steps could be observed
It is the writing. A great show starts with great writing. Sarah has at least a dozen turns of phrase that not only advance the story but could also stand alone as a mini story or as an insightful comment into the human condition.
I also enjoyed the performance which was warm, biting , self deprecating and very funny.
I had no expectations for this show but I was blown away by the theatrics, the plot, the story, the performance, the music, the truth and the surprise ending. All done in an Australian accent.
