InBlindside, sweet and easy-goingStphanieMorin-Robert delights the audience with stories from her life as a one-eyed wonder. As a kid, she lost an eye to cancerbut it obviously didn't keep her from developing a truly unique andedgy sense of humour.

Most ofBlindsiderevolves around the very eventful year when, at age seven, Morin-Robert moved with her family from tinyTimmins, Ont.to tinier Porcupine, Ont. The best part is when she recounts a summer camp moment when she did "by far the most intimate thing I've done with anybody." Through expert physical comedy and impeccable timing, the diminutive but daring Morin-Robert re-enacts a truly Fringe-yscene that won't soon be forgotten.

Blindsideis definitely one to keep an eye on.
