Yes, yes, it's a terrible pun but this is Saturday morning and I saw Chris Gibbs' Antoine Feval show last night (thank you, Dave Jaffer, for knowing what's funny and telling us about it) and my mind has been weakened by the power of Gibbs' brilliant comedy stylings. Pretty sure all that laughing shook a few cables loose. But what else is new. I'm sure coffee and the internet will repair all damage.
Fact is, if comedy really were used as a temporarily-brain-weakening weapon, the world would be a better place. And I would be in love with its benevolent, all-powerful dictator. But fantasies aside, we're now faced with the all-too-real end-of-Fringe conundrum: What to see in these last two days of the festival??
Well, now that I just want to laugh and be astounded and maybe make out with a comedian or two, I'm looking at a few options. Among them: Today Is All Your Birthdays (today at 2 p.m.and tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. at Studio JFL), Dance Animal (tomorrow, 12:30 p.m. at Studio JFL) and Alan Shain's Under the Radar (today at 1:45 p.m. at 4247 St-Dominique).. 
Note: I have been lucky enough to have had two random and delightful conversations with Alan Shain over the past week - he amazes me not just because he has a sense of humour about his physical disability, but because he genuinely made me laugh out loud in the middle of the day, while almost completely sober. I mean, to the extent that I momentarily forgot about my Patati Patata burger and fries. And you know I hate laughing. And food. But seriously: intense and inspiring, real life, real funny, go see his show.
And later on today, perhaps more hot than funny, but who knows, and I will likely laugh anyway, there's noir-ish dance-theatre SportsSexDeathPorn at 8:45 p.m. at MAI (3680 Jeanne-Mance), and the intriguing Cabaret l'Amour Fou (8:15 p.m. at Cabaret JFL), followed by Burlesque Unzipped at 10:15 p.m. - I mean, basically you can Cabaret the night away right there.
At this point, I want to just list the bunches of other shows I haven't had a chance to see despite all good intentions. But I have run out of both jokes and coffee. Comments sections are good for such times: post recommendations! And if you are hilarious and a good kisser, and, oh, have maybe figured out teleportation (and are not actively turning into a fly - that would just be awkward), please send whereabouts on a postcard to this address.
