Jon Bennett

FIRE IN THE METH LAB
Jon Bennett

Saskatoon Fringe presents Australian storyteller Jon Bennett and the amazingly sordid and bizarre story of his brother’s life. A sometimes shocking and chaotic tale, Bennett recounts his brother’s experiences with both charismatic hilarity and heart-warming reflection. If you caught Jon’s piece for Come To Where I Am Australia you’ll already know it will be wild, and surprising, ride.

St Martins

Performed live online each night, ‘Us’ shows home-life as it is. The work captures micro interactions between parents and their children, the beautiful, frustrating, messy, ridiculous, loving moments that usually go unseen, kept secret in the private realm and left out of grand narratives.
