Night Sweats is a Funny, Endearing One Man Show with Heart and a Message
By Ezekiel McAdams
August 1 2024
Night Sweats from Regina’s Sweat n’ Gumption is an engaging, personable, funny and heartfelt look at a man’s perspective during the AIDS crisis set during London’s disco era of 1978-1989.
The show is playing at the 2024 Saskatoon Fringe Festival at The Refinery,
Brad McDougall presents a one show that is semi autobiographical infused with humor, reverence and is balanced with warmth and dramatic undertones that tackles the very serious subject matter with a lightness that never feels forced or silly.
McDougall excels at audience engagement, effortlessly switching dialects and affectations. Interspersed throughout the production are black and white news broadcasts performed by McDougall that really help set the scene and provide context.
This is a wonderful show with heart, humor and a message wrapped inside that is unequivocally endearing.
Night Sweats is running at The Refinery from August 1-10th 2024. Tickets can be bought online here at the box office on site or at the venue itself.
