It shows that I don't pay that much attention to the blurbs, since I really expected a walking tour, albeit a humorous one. I guess being Fringe Historian, I'd want to arrange a walking tour to show off the old Venues.
Instead, this is improv, with the really neat factor of moving around. I liked that when they did Shakespeare on Mount Royal a decade ago, I liked it when some troupe did a free OFF show during the Fringe a few years ago. It can get tiresome to always be sitting in seats to see a show, to have to sit in the same spot through the show.And then one can be amused by cyclists that just ride through the scene (on the other hand, some others made a point of avoiding it).
Still expecting history, when Terrence Bowman, I think it's him as the tour guide, asked for something from the "tourists', it came across like a teacher reaching for an answer rather than reveal it. It took me a while to grasp that one had control, sort of, over the situation by yelling out whatever. I liked it, and it wsa over before I started wondering about the time. Don't take the history as exact. I think it would work better with a larger crowd, there were about four of us as audience, and as many On the Spotters. There was also a horribly obnoxious woman in our tour Sunday night, I tried to be polite but then moved away from her.
