Cursed

Patrick Hercamp—Knox United Church

This is not a review of Cursed. Due to an incredible amount of reasons, Patrick Hercamp was not able to make it to Winnipeg Fringe. Instead, he collaborated with the other performers in his venue to bring a bad luck cabaret to life, only to stop when the Fringe tells it to. This is a review of that.

Brad Torres (The King in Yellow) and John Bennett (Fire in the Meth Lab), accompanied by videos of Patrick Hercamp, share their stories of the horrible luck they’ve had in the past through spoken word and poetry. It’s not as formal as it sounds. These men banded together in true Fringe spirit, because if they couldn’t do what was supposed to be done, they were at least going to do something. Go to it. Pay for it. Get well soon Patrick. But shhh, don’t tell the Fringe.
