If you always thought that Werner Herzog’s deadly documentary Grizzly Man deserved to be remade as an interactive semi-improvised Fringe comedy, Mark Vigeant’s Out There might just be deliriously out-there enough for you. 

Playing Larry, a clueless camo-clad YouTuber in search of online attention, the verbose Vigeant ventures intrepidly through the Alaskan wilderness — aka the Yellow Venue — armed only with Nerf arrows and a smartphone strapped onto his chest. Under the direction of Joanna Simmons, and with the help of Charles Day in the tech booth, he livestreams nutty nature footage facilitated by willing patrons, who participate by portraying foliage, fauna and even fireflies using provided props. 

Larry shares shaggy-dog stories while setting up camp, suffers from self-inflicted food poisoning, and gets soaked in a thunderstorm (complete with no-budget 4-D effects) during his desperate quest for more subscribers. Between narcissistic rantings about his former Fart Squad friends, bear-based brain-rot and nearly naked nonsense, Vigeant actually unearths some sensitive reflections on the magic of nature and the miseries of modern life. But don’t dig too hard for a deeper meaning, because this is chiefly an opportunity for enthusiastic audience members to play moose make-believe. 

Last year, I fear that I didn’t fully appreciate the tightrope Vigeant walks with his brand of comedy, but this time I finally locked into his looney wavelength. For anyone who has ever wanted to make something cool despite being incompetently clueless, Out There offers a healthy dose of unearned self-affirmation, or at least an opportunity not to take ourselves so seriously.
