Jimmy Hogg: The Potato King

Jimmy Hogg—Red River College Polytechnic

The Potato King of Tinder is a sufficiently gifted storyteller to make yet another tale of the absurdities of modern dating worth the price of admission. His skill in painting a robust picture with frenetic words keeps his audience with him throughout his rapid meandering and chaotic but effortlessly conveyed journey. Every tangent, non-sequitur, and bizarre analogy inevitably pays off in the unpredictable narrative of one of the most charming neurotics of the Winnipeg Fringe.
