My first show at the Fringe this year was Minimum, by Victoria Sullivan, presented at Factory Theatre by Be Victorious Productions. Simon has just been elected Premier of Ontario by a landslide based on cleaning up the youth demographic by campaigning mainly on TikTok. Unfortunately on his first day in office a video of him, stoned and in his underwear, carousing with a bunch of female McMaster med students goes viral. In the video he promises, if elected, to live on minimum wage. When Saint Taylor Swift dogpiles on the video challenging him to do so there is no way back. It’s tricky. He has expensive tastes and an even more expensive wife (she owns a Tasmanian Tiger fur coat) who promptly leaves him.
