Plenty of you will think that the star of Lemony Snicket and The Grinch is nasty enough.
But when Jason Rouse comes along being dubbed ‘the evil Jim Carrey’, you know that you’re in for a frenetic treat. He’s here sharing stage time with Craig ‘Dinks’ Campbell under the Canada Dry umbrella, though there’s little dry about the ‘sick and depraved’ material he has at his disposal. Not one for your mother. Whether she’s Canadian or not.
