Oh! I Miss the War
2026 Edmonton International Fringe Theatre Festival
Aug. 17, 2026, 7:42 p.m.

It is only half way through the fringe but thus far Oh I Do Miss The War is my pick of the fringe.

This show was so beautiful and tender. A one person performance and love letter to the ever changing queer community. From rent boys during WWII to a different kind of war during the AIDS epidemic in the 80's and 90's. This performance shows different slices of queer and kink history and the conflicted nostalgia felt when reflecting on those times.

There were funny moments where I absolutely cackled and other parts that made me cry, I'm so in love with this show and highly encourage people to check it out.

P.S. the lumos stage updated their seating and it's super comfy now.
