I Lost on Jeopardy

So Lonely Productions—Alloway Hall – Manitoba Museum

What do you do when your big moment comes and doesn’t go as planned? Do you give up and become bitter or choose a different narrative. This is the essential question at the heart of George Buri’s one man show recounting his time losing on the show Jeopardy. This inspiring tale was jam packed with cool behind the scenes moments of Jeopardy and nerdy jokes. George knows a lot about everything, which might prove for an insufferable personality; but he is so charming, you root for him every step of the way. An engaging and heartwarming story that is sure to connect with everyone. A wonderful gem to sit and listen to.
