Pack Animals: Mansplain to Me!
One of the top shows of the Fringe so far! Start with two extremely funny comedic actors, add a wilderness setting, some brilliant and catchy tunes, plus a skewer of references to our society’s demand that women look and act in a particular way, and you have a brilliant hour of entertainment and social commentary. These two need their own TV show, but then you can’t say the F word on CBC, can you? Don’t miss it!
Pack Animals by S.E. Grummett and Holly M. Brinkman (aka Scantily Glad Theatre) takes us on an overnight camping trip unlike any you’ve ever experienced. From a series of “Hinterland Who’s Who” sketches in which they develop a taxonomy of the species of male one is likely to encounter on the dating scene to their wonderful song about Mansplaining, Grummett and Brinkman use wildly inventive bits to make us laugh and reflect upon on our own ways of being and of interacting with others. “Gender is performative” is an idea that, once allowed into consciousness, spreads like acid, corroding assumptions and destabilizing the world view built upon them. Profound, honest and hilarious. Who could ask for more?
The best part of this show for me was their comedy songs, which reminded me of the Black Roses. I wished there were more of them!
The show discusses topics of LGBTQ2+ and feminism in a really friendly and open way.
And of course, there are lots of other funny jokes and puns about the outdoors life.
Good show – go see it!
It can be a challenge to be both hilariously funny and politically relevant. This play is both. I hope the LGBTQ2 community and allies comes out to support this show.
