Company: Stéphanie Morin-Robert, Montreal

Genre: Play — Comedy

Venue: 28 — Dragon Arts Collective

This is the kind of weird summer charmer the Fringe was made for.

In Blindside, sweet and easy-going Stéphanie Morin-Robert delights the audience with stories from her life as a one-eyed wonder. As a kid, she lost an eye to cancer — but it obviously didn't keep her from developing a truly unique and edgy sense of humour.

Most of Blindside revolves around the very eventful year when, at age seven, Morin-Robert moved with her family from tiny Timmins, Ont. to tinier Porcupine, Ont. The best part is when she recounts a summer camp moment when she did "by far the most intimate thing I've done with anybody." Through expert physical comedy and impeccable timing, the diminutive but daring Morin-Robert re-enacts a truly Fringe-y scene that won't soon be forgotten.

Blindside is definitely one to keep an eye on.
