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....

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...

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...

One of the best shows I've seen all Fringe. Brash, brave and absolutely insane with an overflow of impeccably placed comedic anecdotes, The Amazing Sex Life Of Rabbits is another must-see show this Fringe. The cast of Rebecca Larsen, Leigh Wulff, Richardson Cisneros-Jones and Schoen Hodges is simply brilliant, start to finish, and the writing/direction by Michael Shaw Fisher is pulse driven, truthful, raw, whimsical and bold. I can easily see this piece filmed, it would kill on the festival circu...

An all out there and absolutely insane comedy with an edge of spook, Todd Macabre is truly one of the most outrageous shows I've seen all Fringe. And, I wholly loved every single second of it. Ian Bratschie is captivating from start to finish, with unwavering commitment to character and a keen sense of absurd hilarity that invites the audience into his world with the greatest of ease. Cassie Ahiers direction is spot-on, and this magic team should create more work in the future! I laughed for the ...

Mikkel Simons stuns in this personal, heartfelt and hilarious one-woman masterpiece #PeasantVibes. Throughout this piece, Mikkel impeccably showcases various roles in society and what is considered the norm of what it's like to survive as a "Peasant", and boy does this piece hit close to home, especially if you're a millennial and have worked through some treacherously terrible jobs (mine was working 2 years at Chipotle. Never again). There were so many moments in this piece and with Mikkel's w...

Brian Knudson and Catherine Allison are a formidably infectious duo in Mr. Big. Their energy throughout the entire show was infectious, warm, and it was a hoot of a time to watch. Never taking itself too seriously and holding true to tune of Woody Allen fashion, Mr. Big is a constant ball of fun to watch. I wished it was longer than the half hour allotment!...
