Herbert Needs Work
A comedy show like no other. Herbert Henries has made the leap from Canada’s Got Talent to your hearts—and now, quite practically, into the Edmonton Fringe Festival in search of steady employment.
This 45-minute roller coaster of comedy, stunts, and unexpected turns doubles as both a live performance and an ongoing job interview. Every act he performs is strangely unique, occasionally questionable, and always committed. With no budget for an assistant (applications welcome), Herbert turns to the audience to help bring the chaos to life.
Blending awkward-energy antics while also trying to get hired, Herbert transforms the stage into a space where ambition meets absurdity. People don’t just watch Herbert Henries—they experience him... and possibly become part of his résumé.
