One Great Winnipeg
The Probable Cast—Centennial Concert Hall – Rehearsal Hall
I’m not a big fan of improv—and I hate stand-up. I don’t hate either of those as much as I hate
Winnipeg. Those who know me at all, know that I loathe this city and I count the minutes until I can leave.
That’s what brings me to this show. Whether they’re jabs at Winnipeg or lauds, I’d either love/hate it. Sadly, it was neither. The intro cited a couple of tidbits about Winnipeg but the remainder of the
performance barely had any reference to it, beyond mentioning the name.
Based on the audience, I think the people generally found the show entertaining and funny. I didn’t see it that way but hey, I warned in the first sentence that this isn’t my type of show. If you’re expecting a
tribute or dissection of Winnipeg, move on; if you want stand-up and improv, you’re at the right place.
