It's
me, Only Better!

Given the subtext, it's so over-
the-top appropriate for Shannan
Calcutt's one-woman show to be
playing in the Strathcona Baptist
Church BYOV. In It's Me Only
Better, Calcutt's clown-self Izzy
decides to give up her frantic
search for a man and join a convent.
Well, it's never that straight-
forward for someone "unique" like
the volotile perma-wedding-dressing-
wearing one. This is a woman
whose man-meeting strategy is to
go on cruises and toss herself over-
board to attract rescue-minded
hunks. A high energy, crowd-
pleasing show that manages to be
laugh-out-loud frantic and deftly
emotional subtle all at once. A
seminal Fringe must see.
