Oh,
The Humanity!
: A pleasant surprise and a bar, too! Five scenes, two actors, the trials we go through, and how they are always funny and sad at the same time. My favourite was the singles' dating videos, especially Him: I always try to see the positive side. For instance, I look around, and I'm glad I'm not bleeding.

Carousel Theatre:
Thursday, Sept. 16@10:45 p.m., Friday, Sept. 17@7:00 p.m.,
Saturday, Sept. 18@5:45 p.m. and @10:30 p.m.,
Sunday, Sept. 19@2:00 p.m.

The
DK and Morgan Show
: These guys were upstaged in their first sketch by an audience member who ate their crayon (Alex ATE the crayon! In three bites! He didn't even peel it!) and couldn't entirely recover my attention. They were funny at times, but lacked energy in almost all their sketches and some of the jokes seemed too familiar.

Performance Works:
Friday, Sept. 17@10:35 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 19@5:50 p.m.

Afterwards, once again at the Fringe bar, this time with Viper Central in the background, my Fringe friends and I discussed and argued about the shows we've seen so far. Although we see a lot of shows together, we rarely rave about the same ones. And as we hash and re-hash, mix and match, rank and file, with other Fringers and performers, the dish just gets better.
