The Dirty Bucket Comedy Show

No Cheat Codes Productions—Manitoba Sports Hall of Fame

Take your classic stand up Fringe show with a rotating cast of local and travelling comedians, and shake it up with a bucket full of the audiences best to worst ideas. The comedians themselves were good, in my showing, but that like always is a bit of a crapshoot with these sorts of things, due to the daily swap over. The twist on the formula in the form of the bucket was, itself, a bit of a mixed bag (or bucket, I suppose.) Some of the prompts were solid, and allowed the comedians to mix up their set and keep things fresh and spontaneous. Other prompts were really unfortunately repetitive, with multiple fairly milquetoast sex prompts coming in one after another. Still, the pre-prepared stand-up was good, and the prompts themselves are different each night, so this likely isn’t a consistent issue.

I would say that the comedians were funny and it was a great show, but honestly I was flustered about the show going a whole 15 minutes past the scheduled end time which made me miss my next show, completely throwing off my plans. I don’t want to spend a show checking my phone for the time. Plus most of these comedians I have seen at many shows in Winnipeg before. Although the bucket keeps it “fresh” by adding an improv element, the suggestions weren’t all great and I would’ve rather just seen them do their material in their normal setting. It just wasn’t good for Fringe.
