No Place Like Home

Elaine Phillips—Red River College

The first rule of stand up is not to book an opener funnier than you. This play gave me very high hopes with Mike Delamont being the opener! Unfortunately that led to them being smushed by an awkward and non-funny 40 minutes of her struggling through her material. The whole thing felt unrehearsed and unprofessional. If this was her first time at stand up I wouldn’t be shocked. There were huge awkward pauses while she tried to think of something else to say. She couldn’t remember stories and seemed to grasp for literally anything at all to say to us. Awkward and unfunny, this stand up made me also want to stand up and leave the theatre. A play you can skip this year.
