Plank Panel reviews FUCT in the Toronto Sketch Comedy Festival
On FUCT
"This memorable gang of New Yorkers are back with a vengeance. Thanks to some base and very nearly sadomasochistic material (they open every show by pulling back a giant length of elastic medical tubing and snapping it against the bare chest of one of their members) they have no doubt been previously compared to Jackass, but do not be fooled – there are some very sharp sketches amongst the side-show antics. “Bobo the Sad Clown” was a particular highlight, cleverly combining slapstick and weltschmerz. FUCT may be more than some audiences can handle, but they were without question the most fearless troupe of the festival"
On Notable Individual Performers in the Festival
"Graham Skipper of FUCT who possesses an intangible John Belushi quality. Skipper’s focused intensity and thousand-yard stare allowed him to get laughs without lifting a finger (although he was forced to eat some canned fish) and I applaud him for his understanding that being completely serious in an absurd situation is often far funnier than hamming it up."
