At the Ottawa Fringe Festival yesterday I saw All My Children: a ninety minute one-man show in which a slightly Christopher Walken-esque man recounts his rather mischievous dealings with the children of his former girlfriends. Matt Smith, the man putting it on, is easily able to hold the attention of the audience for the duration, and the show is filled with an indirect but rather effective sort of humour. I enjoyed the show a lot and would recommend it.
It is on five more times:
- Monday, June 20th 9:00pm
- Tuesday, June 21st 7:00pm
- Wednesday, June 22nd 5:30pm
- Thursday, June 23rd 10:30pm
- Friday, June 24th 9:00pm
[Update: 5:09pm] My friend Evey wrote a review of this play for Fully Fringed.

I saw ‘All My Children’ yesterday. I absolutely adored Matt Smith and his offbeat tale of offbeat family ties. I’m only sorry his Ottawa run has concluded, as I’d love it if more people could see this show!
