by Barry Smith

Critic’s Choice - Vancouver Fringe ’07.

Barry Smith (JESUS IN MONTANA) recounts his journey from American suburbanite to filthy squatter in late-1980s London, with stop offs at punk, a clean-freak father and a community college ceramics course. “What sets this production apart is not only Smith’s sharp wit, but his ability to channel laughter’s deeper cathartic powers.” - Montreal Hour

Paris. 1888.  Five o’clock.  Rotten day.  Lousy weather.  Ugly people.  Waiter!  An absinthe!  Day improving.  Clouds interesting.  Girls prettier.  Waiter, another!  Day not bad.  Clouds miraculous.  Girls, so pretty.  Waiter, a third!  Beautiful girls.  I love them all.  Why won’t they come here?  I will write a poem–a poem so perfect, it will save mankind.  But first, another absinthe!
