What I liked

Everything. Literally everything from top to bottom. It’s a tight 30+ minute production of a rapper from Canada attempting to explain to you, the audience, how to be a thug—Great White North style. It manages to be both subtle and broad, political without being aggressive and funny throughout.

The dichotomy of rapper and Power Point is worth the price of admission all on its own. And that’s before he even starts with the actual raps.

Oh, yes. He raps, eh!

What I didn't like

There’s nothing I really want to see improve for THIS production, because I feel like I got to see the first iteration of a character that will one-day take the world by storm. So the only improvement I want to see is for Thugnadian to eventually be rapping on The Tonight Show after his HBO special!

My overall impression

DO NOT MISS THIS SHOW. PERIOD. This is one of the most unique and interesting one-man shows happening at this year’s Fringe festival and you will regret not seeing the first incarnation of this amazing character from Zachary Johnson-Dunlop.
