Colin Mochrie Live at the Winnipeg Fringe

SMR Performance Society—PTE – Cherry Karpyshin Mainstage

If the show is already sold out, does the review even make a difference? Truly a delight to be in the presence of this comedic monolith, Mochrie performs beside Kevin Gillese as well as an invited local improvisor. While some folks in the crowd were expecting a solo show, it was clear that many were first time Fringers coming to see this Canadian legend. By playing a series of long and short form improve games, these comics had the completely full theatre roaring with laughter. My cheeks were sore as the trio with piano accompaniment navigated through each game.

You might not be able to see the show, but keep your eyes peeled around and about the festival and snag a selfie with this shining star at the Winnipeg Fringe.
