Woody Fu is a hilarious genius in Woody Fu: One Man John Wick 2.0. With the perfect blend of The Naked Gun-esque comedy combined with impeccable audience work, epic sound and lighting effects and hysterical banter, this show has it all. I wholeheartedly appreciated all of the Keanu anecdotes. Growing up with a mother that had the hugest crush on Mr. Reeves, I've seen every movie of his countless times. Woody does an incredible job blending all of the classics in with the John Wick theme. I laughe... full review

Michael-Shaun Hennessey is an absolute delight in his one-man show Searching For Robert Hennessey. Michael's enigmatic energy leaves you hoping he finds his father, and as the piece moves on, each crumb he receives as a lead in his search leaves the viewer cheering him on more and more the entire time. The ending is simply beautiful and so fulfilling. I'm so happy Michael shared his incredible story of his father this Fringe.... full review

And What Of The Children...is one of the most gripping, twisted and dark pieces I've ever seen at a Fringe. While heart is present, each moment in this play leaves the viewer falling deeper and deeper into the ill illuminated world the characters in this piece encounter. I was left wanting to save the characters from their fate, with no hope in sight. It truly is something to behold. The actors were remarkable and the writing was impactful and powerful. ... full review

Marcus J Freed bares his soul in this phenomenal, harrowing tale about his own life, overcoming life's trials and seeing the beautiful side to every chapter in Marcus Is Alive. Marcus is a wonderful storyteller, and through his life in this piece, he encapsulates every moment with captivating characters and heartfelt humor. I left the show realizing a lot about my own life, and how those moments one might have that one might think are bad moments might just be the blessings we needed the most. Tr... full review

One Up: The Musical is one of my all time favorite musicals I've seen at Fringe, ever. Every moment of this production was vibrant, thoroughly enjoyable and a sight to see. From the fabulous writing about an underdog intern becoming the star in her own life and others (performed brilliantly by Alanna Hernandez), to the magnificent songbook which I was singing to myself as I was leaving the theatre, to the spectacular cast (truly, one of the best ensembles I've seen all Fringe), this is a must-see... full review

52 Pick-Up is a dazzling display of clown work and the human connection that bonds us all. With radiant performances from Ann Noble and Jeffrey Johnson, this play touches every heart and leaves the audience wanting more from this dynamic duo. Simply magical and a beautifully written and performed piece.... full review

Molly Sharpe is a magical, twisted and downright hysterical artist, and Murder, Oops is one hell of a romp. Molly delivers a raunchy, memorable, sight to see performance in this one-woman musical. I don't want to give away any details about this show, because I think it's better that way, truly. Molly has a lane all her own, and it's fantastic.... full review

An incredible blend of writing, direction and impeccable storytelling from a remarkable cast, Going Home stands on its own as a show to definitely see this Fringe, especially if you love Mafia-inspired tales. Quick, witty and bold, I loved the script. The casting in this piece fit so well, with breakout performances from the entire cast of Chance Lang, Mo Leblanc, Kory Karam and Vincent Giovanni. Thea Lux's direction was on full display, where each character felt real and as an audience member yo... full review

Raunchy, valiant, and knee slappingly hilarious, 79 Ways To Die is a must-see this Fringe, especially if you're a Shakespeare fanatic. I adored every bit of this production, and quite honestly, I could watch it again and again. I loved the creativity and energy throughout this show, and with a dynamite cast of Veronica Rosas, Patrick Censoplano, Julie Hackett and Audrey Spain, there was never a dull moment. Well, maybe a few wet ones. And certainly, a lot of death inspired ones. The Interactive e... full review
