On this week’s episode of The Radical Fabulatorium, I talk with Brynn and Emily — longtime friends and collaborators — about their darkly comedic one-woman show The Prick, which just wrapped at the Fundy Fringe Festival and is headed next to the Halifax Fringe.

Recorded live at Local 107.3FM, this conversation dives into the joy of making weird theatre with people you trust, the strange and beautiful life of a cactus metaphor, what it takes to direct a solo show, and how it feels to perform something vulnerable and a little absurd in front of a live audience.

We also talk about pop culture puns, swearing in serious moments, forgetting your lines mid-show, and why sometimes the funniest moments aren’t written — they just sneak in when the tension breaks.

If you’ve ever talked to your houseplants, or found meaning in something that wasn’t supposed to have any, this one’s for you.
