Every year the H.U.N.K.S.getbetter and last night, for the first time, they can be counted among Winnipeg's finest sketch brands.
Like most modern troupes,they incorporatemultimedia and do itvery well theshow is the perfect mix of live and filmed segments.There is a surprise that I'mnot supposed to spill, so I will respect their on-stage directive. What I will say, however, is thatthe surprise doesn't work.
Not every sketch rocket makes it to Mars.I gotthe sense the show is complied from amaster list that maybe hasless than a handfulmore sketches than areon display.Thequintet should double the number to ensure a flawless show.
But when the sketches soar, they soar.Tim Gray, Dana Smith and Quinn Greene were on fire on opening night.Dana does a great piece about being the only woman in the castwhich highlights that she is the only woman in the cast.A comedy universe with a twenty per cent female population is not an accurate representation of the world. AWonder Womansketch got one of the biggest laughs of the night.
The crowd ate it all up and there was a scattered standing ovation.This could be turned into a full standing ovation in the years to come if this promising troupe continue to challenge themselves.
