One glaring omission from Hamilton\u2019s set is a clear ending with comic punch. Yet, in all I found Hamilton likeable and Klondyke: Straight From the Yukon an entertaining set of storytelling and comedy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>TWISI FRINGE RATING:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.twisitheatreblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/5_Star_Rating_System_3_and_a_half_stars-11.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2583\" src=\"https:\/\/www.twisitheatreblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/5_Star_Rating_System_3_and_a_half_stars-11.png\" alt=\"5_Star_Rating_System_3_and_a_half_stars-1\" width=\"140\" height=\"25\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><em>Klondyke: Standup Straight from the Yukon<\/em> plays at the Tarragon Theatre Mainspace (30 Bridgman Avenue) as part of the Toronto Fringe Festival at the following times:<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>show times<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>July 11 at 09:45 PM \u00a0<a class=\"button small\" href=\"https:\/\/tff.tickets.red61.com\/listprices.php?performanceId=1066:1307\">buy tickets<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>July 12 at 02:15 PM \u00a0<a class=\"button small\" href=\"https:\/\/tff.tickets.red61.com\/listprices.php?performanceId=1066:1308\">buy tickets<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Klondyke: Standup Straight From the Yukon, is a standup show<\/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":[4749,4736,3747,4245],"class_list":["post-2626","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-review","tag-jenny-hamilton","tag-tarragon-theatre-mainspace","tag-toronto","tag-toronto-fringe"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Klondyke: Standup Straight from the Yukon - The Way I See It Theatre &amp;
