James and Jamesy in the Dark

NOTE: This show was reviewed at the 2015 Winnipeg Fringe Festival.


CBC:

Are you still in the dark about why James & Jamesy are one of the most popular Fringe duos ever? Better snap up tickets now. Trust me, you'll see the light.

These guys are maestros at making theatre magic with the simplest of elements. It's like watching two big imaginative kids in a tent with flashlights, as they bring to life a whole world and invite you to step inside.

The eight-year-old girl in front of me giggled in delight for the whole hour. Yetthe simple and repetitive dialogue packs layers of meaning. Think Abbott and Costello with a hint of Samuel Beckett.

Theymay be big kids, but James & Jamesy are exploring big questions about the role of the artist and the power of creation.And they're breaking down the fourth wall so you can be part of the fun. It's an unforgettable Fringe experience. Don't miss it.
