Five Stars
Although
TJ Dawe's one-man show happens to be at the King's Head Pub, you'd be well
advised not order a Guinness before this 90-minute show - this is, unless
you want to know how it feels when it comes out of your nose. The Slip-Knot
is easily one of the funniest, most energetic shows at the Fringe.
Dawe plays three characters, connected literally in a way you'll have to discover for yourself, and thematically in their collective realisation that their function in the workforce is only as placeholders for their respective job descriptions. Through the eyes of a dumpster truck driver, a Canada Post parcel tracker and a Shopper's Drug Mart merchandiser, Dawe tries to make sense of his surroundings with an observational sensibility that Jerry Seinfeld would envy, and a knack for weaving stories together that would inspire quiet awe if one wasn't busy laughing so hard.
