FRIGID Festival
I went to see three shows as part of the FRIGID festival in NY. Over the course of 13 days they are putting on 150 shows in three theaters -- very impressive! The performers get 100% of the box office and are from various places -- NY, Totonto, San Francisco. They are running through Sunday, so it isn't too late to find a show or three to go to!
Now And At The Hour -- a one-man magic show - This show was ok, but knowing how a lot of card tricks work was a distraction. His emotional content ruled the day, though, more than making up for his mechanics, which were occasionally spotty.
Jet of Blood or The Ball of Glass -- it's art, guys. - This show was entertaining, I liked it a lot. It is certainly the sort of show that could have ended with someone saying "it's art, guys" but it was well done.
Jihad for Vent and Dummy -- a ventriloquist act. - This one is worth seeing. A career-topper for the ventriloquist, who we accompany on a discussion of reality. This is either excellent or BRILLIANT and should not be missed.
