CRUMBS sells out

Venue 14 – The King’s Head

It’s hard to believe, but this is Crumbs’ tenth Fringe. It seems like it was only yesterday when three quirky guys set out to bring long form improv back to Winnipeg. Throughout the years, there have been some hits and misses, though there have been far more hits than misses. Nowadays, even though one member is gone and they have added a DJ, Crumbs is still going strong. And .Sunday night’s performance is a true indication of that.

The audience was in stitches as Steve Sim and Lee White move from improvised scene to scene; a depressed teenager making a suicide pact with a Quasimodo like character that is enslaved in aisle 13 at the local Safeway, two brother feuding over the family farm, a playboy forced to perform interpretive dance to woo the only womyn, a belly dancer, that could make him settle down, plus a rowdy drunk in the audience. In other words, Crumbs is still as hilarious and quick witted as ever and they continue to be an enjoyable Fringe show.
