Fringe review: Schtick runs thin while honesty holds true yyc yycarts

What Wade really wants to share are his feelings of inadequacy that began at an early age. He insists he’s never understood the whole concept of loving and being loved. When he was five, he wouldn’t sing the word love in any of the hymns at church because it meant nothing to him and that hesitation has played a major role in all his relationships with women, so he says, and the way he says it sounds as truthful as it is painful.
The truly remarkable thing about The Most Honest Man in the World is the character that Wade creates is so real, that it’s easy to forget he is as skilled an actor as he is a writer. The Most Honest Man in the World is fringing at its finest.Also hailing from Vancouver are Hillary Fillier and Joanne Rannelli, the creators and performers of The Morning After With Pam and Paula – a sketch comedy spoof of morning show hosts.

The joke, as good as it was, fizzled out.Article content
