I can't say I'm a fan of Mary Walsh ... I don't dislike her, I'm just not really familiar with her work. I used to watch CODCO many years ago and liked it but never got into This Hour has 22 Minutes.
Dancing with Rage is playing at the Panasonic Theatre (Yonge/Bloor). I haven't been to that theatre in many years ... since Forever Plaid was playing there. I like this theatre ... it's kind of small and intimate. It was really warm, though, and there wasn't a lot of air circulating.
The crowd was just going in when we got there.

When she got to the stage, as she is still talking, she became a different character, reading the story of the little girl who lived with her elderly aunts and uncle while her parents and siblings live next door. I didn't find this funny ... I'm not sure if it was supposed to be.

Sounds really serious, doesn't it? Given that this is a Mary Walsh play, I had expected it to be lighthearted and funny ... but it wasn't. It was fairly depressing and I didn't find it all that funny.
The play intermingles Mary being on stage with videos behind her with her playing different characters (for example, she is Marg in the video having a conversation with Mary on stage as a slimy cab driver).

Eh, sounds like something I could live without seeing. But at least you got out and were able to have a nice evening with hubby! :)
Sounds like a nice night out!
