Have you ever wondered what God would be like in person? Turns out, he’s got a good sense of humour… and a love for heated rivalry. “God! The One-Man Show” is a witty and entertaining performance. Prepare to be astounded by the story of creation told directly from the source, along with many gimmicks and magic tricks that will leave you dazzled. Be sure to sit up front if you’re up for a little audience participation!
Rich Potter’s expressive performance will draw you into the frazzled creation story as you’ve never seen it before. His impeccable connection with the audience makes it seem as if God never intended for theatre to have a fourth wall at all. His playful interaction with the audience makes each moment feel spontaneous and genuine, keeping you engaged from beginning to end.
Even in moments of an accidental stutter or a missed joke, Potter's quick wit was able to brush off any small mistakes and turn them into a moment of laughter between actor and audience.
This comedic retrospective on humanity will leave you not only laughing, but also reflecting on the intentions behind creation and our responsibility for each other. Potter reminds us all to try to leave this little speck of dust we call home a little nicer than we found it.
It is a wonderful show if you plan on attending Fringe and seeking out a combination of a magic show, a bit of raunchy humour, and a meaningful moral!
