Did Gov Waltz storm his line "F**k the ice"?

That crispy joke was too sharp for me to process. A merry audience caught on in a laughter-filled theater. This Minnesotan ice-breaker is set in May, when frigid Lake Miller Lacs transforms into a chaotic, spicy cauldron brewing toad poop, PBR, the jaws, and chillin' revenge. Spotlight the biggest ever puppet in this Minnesotan fish tale! Our theatre stars are rooted in Garrison, MN. A Tour De Force Debut: George Smith (Bobbie, who became Jaw's initial victim of a male-dominant line-up) masterfully plays as both actor and audience participant at his first MN Fringe stage. Equally Lethal Assembly: the amazing actress pool, Maija, Laura, Alyssa, Thalia, Michelle, and Cayla, delivers a whirl wind girl power in their own Fringe debut culminating in a splendid fireworks spark on stage. Gloriously Gruesome stage murder: kudos to all those tragic heroic souls devoured by that 12-foot villain whom only determined women's rage snips. And a Minnesota-size shout out goes to producer, Andy, and to director, Andy, and to Marc and Remy, for orchestrating this wonderful mythical parody. Reel in Muskie!
