The term "frenemy" comes to mind during Winners and Losers, a funny-turned-scathing staged converation between real-life pals James Long and Marcus Youssef, now on stage at the Berkeley Street Theatre. Presented by Crow's Theatre in association with Canadian Stage, the show is a savagely honest battle of wits in which the two performers constantly try to one-up each other while debating whether people and things—such as Mayor Rob Ford, Pamela Anderson and China—are winners or losers.
