Dangerous Mind

Strange Danger—Planetarium

There’s a classic kind of Fringe one man show, where a comedian makes light of a dark, personal struggle, buoying the content with jokes and self-deprecation. This is one of those shows, but never seemed to lean hard enough in either direction. While the exploration through comedian Scott Porteous’s life, anxieties, and addiction are worthwhile, the show needs a stronger through-line of these events, making the show itself fall flat.
