AWKWARD HUG

Cory Thibert—Red River College – Roblin Centre

Most people I know hated their parents at some point in their lives as kids. I certainly thought my parents were dicks through my childhood. Then one day, you grow up and realise why they did the things they did—except my mother, she’s still a dick.

For Cory Thibert (Coby), the relationship, maturation and illumination with his family form the basis of this exploration. Along this journey of discovery, you board his adolescent bus and travel through tunnels of sorrow, bridges of laughter and alleys of anguish before reaching the depot of insight. Every aspect of this trip is thoroughly enjoyable as you ride Thibert’s expert story-telling and flawless execution; he’s simply one of the best narrators I’ve seen all Fringe.
