WILD AND WONDERFUL OFF GRID FULL
Full disclosure: my job for 25 years was watching comedy, so if I laugh out loud several times, you know there are some good jokes being offered up. This works best when the mashup is the most incongruous, like a solo from the robot in Terminator or the creature in Alien. What distinguishes this show is it imagines adding show tunes to movies that don’t have them. This tight little confection from a local team traffics in musical parody, a frequent form in this age of entertainment overload. John Hirsch Mainstage (Venue 1) to July 24

Delicious and uncomfortable with occasional nudity: just like family dinner. Playing stereotypical Winnipeggers, Pommer and Adamus really show off their acting chops in the clip - shot by Folk Films in a perfect re-creation of the docu-series style - and the local setting allows for some cutting jabs at potholes and the premier. The pièce de resistance of this uniformly solid collection is a short video spoofing the Lifetime reality show I Survived. This 45-minute sketch-comedy show from Winnipeg’s Family Dinner - Spencer Adamus, Jaydin Pommer and Riley Paull - is a brilliant compilation of recognizable situations tweaked into absurdity: a dad needs to sit in his special chair a murder-mystery dinner gets personal a What to Expect When You’re Expecting seminar takes the long view ("Your little guy is 321 months now").


You know you’re in good hands when a character only has to cough tubercularly and repeatedly to elicit gales of laughter.
