Imagine the two most annoying people you can think of…no no, even more annoying. Now, put them on stage for 20 minutes. Pat and Alex (Palex) have been friends and collaborators for years, and are finally coming together to maximize their joint slay on the Theatre Ste Catherine stage. There will be yelling.
