The POLKA DOTS OF DEATH: The Making of a Supervillain
The Red Nose Diaries—MTC Up the Alley
Spenser Payne and Alissa Watson are the clown duo Winnipeg deserves but didn’t know that it needed. This powerhouse of comedy grabbed the hand of the audience and never let go as they whipped through crazy, weird and hilarious skits. The soundtrack for this show sets the mood to creepy carnival but the oversized cartoon cardboard props keep the show light and funny. There is definitely some comical violence but it’s so ridiculous I didn’t mind one bit. Some of the jokes and scenes ran on the long side but they tended to segue into the next scene nicely and a bit of improv kept things fresh throughout. I don’t think I have ever laughed so hard at someone’s attempts to murder their sister. I loved the relationship between the two actors. You can feel the love developed between the two and it is infectious. This zany insane super show made for a delightful start to my afternoon. Now if you’ll excuse me I am going to figure out where I can fit another viewing into my busy fringe schedule.
