What I liked

Pretty much everything!

What I didn't like

The very first skit was the weakest.

My overall impression

It bears says—I have had a very nice Fringe this year. Wrote only one pan, with two mild disappointments, but the rest of the shows I’ve seen veered between just plain good to soul-shakingly excellent. Most, though, have also proven…well, heavy. No complaints! Still, no use pretending this delightful variety show didn’t act as a breath of fresh air! So much fun! So many laughs! Such a delightful array of different talents on display! My personal faves were the skits, partially because I do adore the gag of when the skit takes one situation and puts some weirdly wonderful spin on it all. In this case, for example, treating a commercial passenger flight pretty much exactly like a maximum security prison! Complete with the new fish learning the ropes from hardcore inmates/passengers! Plus the music! And the dancing! And the stand up! I had an absolute ball, just letting lose with the laughs and applause!
