Are You Lovin' It?
5 stars! Winner of "Media Pick" at Edmonton Fringe, "Patron’s Pick" at Orlando Fringe, "Best Of Fest" at San Diego Fringe, "Best in Fest" at Tampa Fringe, "Best Ensemble" at FRIGID NY. A huge hit at fringe fests across Canada and the US. Japanease GUMBO invites you to a surreal romp with a dancing Japanease businessman, Krazy Kitty and delicious WacDonalds for all. You won't be able to stop laughing!
This kooky, edgy, cartoon-like show may be the strangest show I've ever seen at the Fringe. - Edmonton Journal

Accessibility
Content warnings: Cartoonish violence; mature content.
Sensory warnings: Audience interaction/participation (but you can refuse!). We use a spray made by water, but in the show we call it "Lysol". It's water so it's harmless to the body.
