The Best Man Show
Thursday, Sep 19, 2024 @ 7:00 PM MDT • Starting from $16.00 (includes fees)
The Best Man Show is an interactive and darkly hilarious wedding reception where Mark Vigeant plays the Groom’s brother Paul, who has been asked to give the toast at an untraditional polyamorous commitment ceremony.
It starts out fun and silly, with your typical masculine roasting and ribbing – and slowly devolves into a drunken existential crisis where Paul tries desperately to understand what it means to love, but can’t get over his own toxic masculinity to recognize how lonely he is.
Throughout the show, Mark recruits audience members to play the various guests at the wedding reception: the groom Charles, and his two brides Carrie and Paige who he gets to play against each other; his daughter Ella who comes onstage to sing a song; his Dad who is deeply disappointed in him, his mother who can’t stop crying; his wife who he doesn’t get along with; and of course a photographer to document everything and post it to Instagram.
It culminates in a melancholic and beautiful dance performance, and leaves the audience impressed and unsettled.
