Spellbinding storytelling

There are eight million stories in the Naked City. This is one of them.
You know that guy who says, "I got this hilarious story to tell you," and he tells you, and you can see how it could be hilarious, but it isn't, at least not
the way he tells it? That is NOT Bob Brader.
In Preparation Hex, Brader takes the story of his hemorrhoids and weaves it into storytelling gold. Along the way we learn about some of the women
in his life - Lisa, Harriet and Suzanne, among others (yes, this man is a cautionary tale about why you shouldn't date actors) (and I mean that in the
nicest possible way) - lucky clothing, dragon's blood, stuffed animals, Disneyland and the MGM Studio Tour, the COMT Incident, and a whole raft of
other things that I was laughing too hard to keep track of. And he uses a slide projector (yippee for great old technology!) to provide visual aids for
his story.
Sometimes the best stories are all in the telling, and Brader sure knows how to
tell 'em. Don't miss this alchemist of the anecdote!

The Power of One: a Dozen Delights

Having seen just over 30 shows so far (“What the hell day is this?”), and reflecting on my favourite shows in this year’s Fringe… I realize they’re
almost all solo shows. (“Cast, schmast!”)
Should you have an unscheduled hour or so during this final Fringe weekend, I would recommend any (or all) of these shows. In alphabetical order:
An Evening with Nick Wallace
Antoine Feval
Giving into Light
Preparation Hex
See Bob Run
So Many Boo-boos
Some of These Days
The Barker’s Spiel
The Magician Reverend Nuge
The Stories of Cesar Chavez
Wanderlust
Weaverville Waltz
Please enjoy responsibly.
