Booger Red

Jim Loucks—The Output at Video Pool Media Arts Centre

What a warm and wonderful treat from Jim Loucks of California. Warm is so many ways. The love shared in this son’s relating of the story of his father’s and his own life, the personality of the performer and the heat of the venue. What a trooper to perform under the additional heat of stage lights!

This was so worth it! I was intrigued from the beginning; wanting to know the origins of the unusual name of booger- different meaning in the south, thankfully. What a beautiful surprise to find out this man isn’t just a brilliant actor but an amazing singer as well. I wasn’t the only one delighted. The audience wouldn’t stop applauding. Please see! Just be prepared if it is a hot day.

Booger Red—The Output at Video Pool Media Arts Centre

Jim Loucks is bringing his rollicking solo-performance back to the Winnipeg Fringe. Loosely based on Loucks’ childhood, it’s the story of a Preacher’s Kid struggling to find his own unique voice, emerging from the shadow of his larger-than-life father, a Hellfire and Brimstone Southern Baptist preacher.

Audience reviews:

“He changes character so convincingly in persona and dialect, and his wonderful singing voice blew me away!”

“An outstanding hour of wonderful moving storytelling.”

“Loucks’ unique voice is definitely one worth hearing.”
