This adventure is a lot of fun. Fitz-James is a excellent storyteller and an engaging presenter with a versatile command of characters. She delivers smoothly and flawlessly, taking the audience in easily.
Her content is amusing and witty but I hoped for a bit more substance. I’ve been a feminist for a long time, a full decade before Justin Trudeau made it cool for a man to be a feminist. I’m very familiar with the feminist issues contained within and I wish there was some more development.
Fitz-James covers a lot of issues in this hour, including a score of feminist topics, many alcoholism topics, generational and socio-political topics. There’s a touch of each topic but not a lot of exploration. I understand it’s not supposed to be a lecture or discourse but these are very important topics. I would like to see this broadened into an intro and have a series of focused discussions, zeroing in on each discrete topic. Each could be a separate entry into the Fringe world.
Some of the jokes were funny but some were off the mark and just amusing. I would re-write a few of the jokes to bring them to gut-busting hilarity. I loved the wine gag. I knew my imagination wasn’t fooling with me after the first round. Unfortunately, the second round had my attention and what was said took a back seat.
All said, this is a good show and a fun way to spend an hour. It’s a hike to the West End Cultural Centre but it’s worth it. They sell liquor at this venue. You should ask if they have Ice.
