It takes a lot of practice to be this good at making stuff up.
CRUMBS is a comedy show featuring well-known Winnipeg improvisers Lee White and Stephen Sim. The duo has performed together at the Fringe since 1998 and that experience is plain to see.
Both Sim and White seem to think with one hilarious brain. They transform audience suggestions into complex story arcs and characters with nearly fully-formed identities. While a handful of jokes land squarely below the belt, the duo manages to avoid vulgar territory.
Prepare to laugh a lot but also be strangely moved by touching moments between Sim and White; neither of whom shies away from exploring a little sincerity.
Providing an additional layer of entertainment is the capable DJ Hunnicutt who expertly selects music and sound effects throughout the performance. Expect a packed house throughout the festival and arrive early.
