Ten-tickles My Fancy

Just came out of Potato Potato Save the World (?), and honestly... I'm still processing what I just watched.

I'm not entirely sure what I expected, but Canada's musical political sketch comedy troupe absolutely delivered. It was delightfully weird, wonderfully chaotic, and consistently hilarious. There were a couple of moments where the pacing dipped ever so slightly, but they found their rhythm again almost immediately.

I genuinely can't decide what was funnier: the Doug Ford "I Want to Be Mayor of Toronto" number, or the gloriously unhinged parody of "Seasons of Love" from Rent that somehow turned into a song about sex and ass. Neither should have worked as well as they did... and yet they absolutely did.

The whole show embraces absurdity with complete confidence, and that's what makes it so much fun. If you enjoy sharp political satire, musical comedy, and jokes that make you laugh while simultaneously wondering, "Did that really just happen?" this show is for you.

10/10. I'm absolutely looking them up on social media because I need more of whatever that was.
