"The Last Straight Man In Theatre" is a multimedia, multi-character comedy that involves a live Fitzpatrick portraying a cast of characters on stage, as well as interacting with filmed versions of himself as even more characters. Characters include Guardino, a male prostitute, Will, a rebellious teenage boy, and Mary, a preaching black waitress. The result is a strange, wild, and hilarious ride through one weird night in a neighborhood of Kurt's imagination. The show is directed by Alison Cousins from Ottawa, ON.

The show had a successful tour of Fringe Festivals and theaters in the Midwest in the summer of 2010, and in the fall enjoyed further success during a ten-week run at Flushnik Studios in Brooklyn, playing every Saturday night. The show is scheduled to play at the Montreal and Wakefield Fringe festivals this coming year.

The Fully Fringed review of Kurt's Ottawa performance stated, "This play is not for the faint of heart or those who like their world to make sense... It will make your fingertips buzz with the joy of the unknown. It's what theatre should be: challenging and exhilarating."

The show received a five-star review from Suite101.com. 25th Street Theatre critic Jason Dubray named the show the #1 Production of the 2009 Saskatoon Fringe Festival, Outstanding Male Performer, Outstanding Solo Show, and Outstanding Multimedia Show. The show was named one of Fresno Bee's six recommended shows of the 2010 Rogue Festival in Fresno, CA.
