A staple of the Fringe for years, performance poet Jem Rollssets an impressive pace. His joy at the toybox the English language provides is on display for a full hour, landing glancingly on mantras and homilies that amuse and sponsor recognition of shared human experiences.

Jem's quickpace canget a little relentless,and I would advise some breathing room for his audience to avoid monotony.

The loveliest thing for this reviewer was his use of particularly repetitive phrases that begin to grow with each utterance and, by the end, carry his theme.
