Unfortunately, Hebert\u2019s material doesn\u2019t make it far up off the ground.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">One would think that there would be tons of material focused on the Francophone poking fun at Anglophonic Canada and one would think that there would be fresh material poking fun at Anglophonic Canada coming from a comedian from Quebec. Yet, Hebert\u2019s act is all recycled stereotypical jokes about Calgarian Conservatives, Anne of Green Gables\u2019 house, the Ontarian wasteland and Halifax\u2019s penchant to allow pedestrians to cross the street wherever they would like.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There were a few jokes that I didn\u2019t get that the Francophones sitting beside me laughed heartily at. I enjoyed the few jokes that used plays on French words that sound inappropriate when spoken with an English accent. I wanted more of Hebert\u2019s own insights and experiences and reflections of our various cultures with a clarity of arc to maximize the potential for humour. I also wanted him to stop pacing, please.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>TWISI Rating:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.twisitheatreblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/2-of-5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2063\" alt=\"2 of 5\" src=\"https:\/\/www.twisitheatreblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/2-of-5.jpg\" width=\"233\" height=\"59\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><em>Undercover<\/em> at the Atlantic Fringe Festival has closed.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I really liked Eric Hebert\u2019s concept for his stand up<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4671],"tags":[5121,3212],"class_list":["post-2161","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-review","tag-eric-hebert","tag-halifax-fringe"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Undercover - The Way I See It Theatre &amp;
