This is the first in a Straight series of video previews showcasing four of the Vancouver Fringe Festival's 108 wacky shows. 

Referred to as one-man romantic comedy circus show, The Birdmann in Momentus Timing features the theatrical antics of the Australian-spawned Birdmann and the musical stylings of his Japanese friend, Egg. The charming yet silly artistry behind Trent Baumann's performance incorporates bizarre trickery and hilariously awkward stand-up, and the music provided by his farm-fresh counterpart fits almost too perfectly. 

Check out the show at Performance Works (1218 Cartwright Street) on September 11 (10:40 p.m.), 12 (4:30 p.m.), 13 (12:10 p.m.), 14 (6:55 p.m.), 17 (8:30 p.m.) and 19 (7:25 p.m.).
