Alex Nussbaum: A Brave New Worrier
From press release:
Canadian Comedy Award Best Male Stand Up nominee Alex Nussbaum is pleased to make his fringe debut at the 2013 Toronto Fringe with, “Alex Nussbaum’s Handbook To The Future”. A 50-minute comedic exploration into our dependance on technology and the dark places it could be taking us. Using monologue, sketch, and audio-visual accompaniment, Alex examines his ambivalent relationship with the gadgets that connect us (and disconnect us).
