| | Steve Breadstone Fringe Fest Reviews |
| | Sketch comedy is interspersed with video vignettes a la Kids in the Hall in this show from three Winnipeg boys who have a good concept waiting to be perfected. | | | As with most sketch comedy, some bits work better than others; but I admire the inventiveness in their best work, and the obvious preparation that went into each sketch. | | | In the case of mushrooms at least, absence of light and an excess of manure produce an edible fungus, but the result here is merely infantile, poorly written and ineptly performed meanness in the guise of sketch comedy. |
