Montreal Improv Recommends: Shoshinz presents: A Day in the Life of Ms. Hiccup

My decision to see Shoshinz was based on the above youtube video of what I assume was their Fringe-for-all for 2008.  This year’s show features just one of the Shoshinz duo, as the titular character.  Ms.  Hiccup is a strange, clown-like character that goes through her daily routines from morning to night.  The blurb from the Fringe site describes this show best, “[t]his surreal Tokyo comedian will lure you in and bend your mind with brilliant physical theater, dance, absurd music and song.”   Watching Ms. Hiccup, I felt like her show came from a pure desire to entertain, and I was entertained.
