Greg Wood's Fringe Family Fun Show is packed with family-friendly entertainment that's perfect for kids and adults alike at this year's Winnipeg Fringe Festival.

Wood hit the stage with his wife and two energetic granddaughters, bringing a mix of humour, jaw-dropping tricks, and interactive fun.

Even when some opening night audio glitches popped up, Wood kept it cool and turned the technical bumps into part of the fun, proving he's a seasoned performer.

The audience (both kids and grown-ups) was stunned by his mind-bending illusions, with my own kids asking more than once, "How'd he do that?" The jokes were clean and genuinely funny, keeping adults laughing without ever forgetting the younger audience members.

Wood's message to "Keep life light" was woven seamlessly throughout the performance, setting a fun, upbeat vibe.

My kids, who are eight and six years old, gave the show enthusiastic two-thumbs-up reviews, with full-on cackle laughs, and repeatedly expressing amazement.

If you're after a show that's genuinely fun for the whole family, Greg Wood's Fringe Family Fun Show is definitely worth checking out at this year's festival.

You can grab your tickets here, and catch the show at venue #3 - Théâtre Cercle Molière, at the Centre Culturel Franco-Manitobain (340 Provencher Blvd).
