I get it! There is no relevance! This guy has figured that out. He's witty, engaging, and unpredictable. If you need predictable plot and expectant story lines thrown in your face, go somewhere else. If you're looking for fresh, honest, sincere, and humorous then see this show.

Top contender for the worst show in the Fringe Festival. Ponderous and pointless. Neither funny, nor topical, I'm not sure what the point was, apart from the performer trying to draw attention to himself. "Waiting for the Relevance" indeed. He completely fails to make himself interesting. He's a middle-aged failed actor. While that isn't an inherently exciting concept, it could still go somewhere, if he's funny, or has something to say...it becomes very clear that there is a reason he has "failed". On top of his boring bits, he also feels the need to sing at the top of the show and again later. He also plays guitar. He does both things badly. There were a few people in the audience who laughed during the show, seemed to enjoy themselves. They were animated and frequently nodding along. So perhaps he does have an audience out there. I was more amused by their frequent laughter than by the performer. By the end I was just paying attention to their reactions, since I was so mystified that they could enjoy this show. To each their own, eh.

I'm still waiting. I have no idea as to what this show was supposed to have been about.

My wife and I saw this today (9/10). From the beginning, in which the guitar playing was atrocious, to the end in which a "dance" (if it can be called that) was effected to the twirling of a walking cane that turned suddenly malevolent (with truly awful mime in between the two, my wife would like to add), we were stunned into a dull silence. The only good thing was that we talked about it for about 3 hours afterward, due to its amusement value! Please save your $9 and buy yourself a pearl milk tea in Chinatown (or three) - the flavor will last longer. The only thing we were left with was the unfulfilled feeling of, ironically, waiting for the relevance of the show to sink in ... it never did.
