Humorous but very thoughtful, full of unexpected moments, tender, gentle, and extremely well-performed. Nancy Beverly connected very well with her audience.... full review

An outstanding and unusual one woman show. I was expecting fantastic comedy, as I've seen Rebecca O'Brien perform before - but this show is something greater - it's all about the energy and love she ended up receiving from people on the bus as she was making her way through cancer treatments. It has very heartwarming moments, screamingly funny moments, and is crafted with so much love and appreciation for the human race - all presented with terrific style, physical control and masterful acting!... full review

Brilliant, heartfelt, very emotional recreation of Richard Pryor - a very sympathetic, intelligent portrait of a complex performer with a tragic life. I particularly appreciated the way the beginning of the play places Pryor's humor in a historical context of the African-American experience in America. Underneath the humor, there's a lot of pain and a lot of history. Absolutely brilliant performance. ... full review

This is high quality magic. Even standing on stage, as a volunteer, watching intently, I had no idea how he did what he did.... full review

Very well performed and full of some interesting surprises, this show uses a good combination of live performance, film slides and tape recordings to tell its story of someone turning the tables on the usual internet scammer, who promises the recipient large sums of money for a little help in recovering that fortune. Lively and funny. ... full review

Cliff Todd belongs on Broadway! Run, don't walk, to this well written, beautifully performed show. Even if Bobby Darin wasn't part of your musical vocabulary, you'll have a great time. The show is a well-timed combination of humor, wit, and pathos. I hope it wins a Best of Fringe award and is held over for additional performances, because I want my friends to be able to see it. ... full review

Los Angeles certainly has some amazing actors and writers - the actors from Fierce Backbone get up there with huge amounts of energy and imbue these 20 plus super-short plays, some of which are hilarious, with superb wit and great comic timing. This is definitely not a show for youngsters, as the language in the title would suggest. But it is not a mindlessly stupid show - so don't let the title turn you off. The show moves along at a terrific pace, and is highly enjoyable. ... full review

Hold onto your hats - you're in for a thrilling ride! This show is full of amazing, highly varied themes, wonderful acting, delightful theatricality, excellent music and some real surprises! I loved the opening number - some of the most hilarious lines went by so fast I found myself laughing half a page later - and Judith Allen's piece is so full of heart and love (as well as incredibly entertaining) - what a pleasure! Don't miss Kinky Neon Rocker. ... full review

This is a very funny and insightful comedy about the relationship between men and women. It's presented as the couple we get to know very well are watching a play - and their world is full of aggravation and mental disturbances. The two leads are superb, one can relate to their issues, and there are truly hilarious moments. The play is complemented by some wonderful use of evocative music. There are some unexpected shifts in tone that hold surprises, too. ... full review
