Nocturne

dan prevette · June 23, 2023 certified reviewer
A beautiful show with painfully human characters brought to life by raw, unflinching performances, clever stagecraft, and sharp direction. This solo show turned ensemble piece is an intriguing and inventive theatrical exploration of a profound piece of writing, and the actors do great work bringing it to the stage.... full review

ImPatient

One of my favorite shows of Fringe, period. Caroline is a total joy and her show is absolutely hilarious. This is about as much fun as you can have exploring a depressive breakdown. Caroline is one of a kind.... full review

The Importance of Being Anxious

dan prevette · June 22, 2023 certified reviewer
Hal's show is a beautifully crafted and lovingly told tribute to the truth that we're never really done growing up. His performance is honest and from the heart, his stories are hilarious and relatable, and the show is a smooth blend of warm melancholy and hope. Hal reminds me of storytellers like David Sedaris and Mike Birbiglia. I loved it, and Hal is an easy performer to love.... full review

Mark Pleases You

dan prevette · June 22, 2023 certified reviewer
Mark deserves all the buzz, and this show is a must see. I'm so glad I saw this show. I didn't know Mark, and I had never heard of the show, but my god. This is Fringe. Unpredictable, unstoppable, unapologetic, and unbelievably funny. It's an absolute blast. ... full review

YONIVERSE (formerly: YONI KI KAHANIYA)

dan prevette · June 22, 2023 certified reviewer
A hilarious, touching, enlightening show about a truly magical topic. A love letter to the source of us all, and a very honest, heartwarming exploration of 4 very different lives. All the performances were pitch perfect and everyone on stage was a star. A shining example of how stories can connect us. ... full review

The Arsonist of Venice

dan prevette · June 22, 2023 certified reviewer
Maybe it's my affinity for the classic American myth of the tortured writer, but I loved this show. It's a molotov cocktail of ego, drug abuse, and mental disorders that's dripping with unresolved tension. I don't know if Kerouac, Steinbeck, or Williams ever wrote about Venice specifically, but it might have looked something like this.... full review

How To Be An Ending

dan prevette · June 22, 2023 certified reviewer
This is a beautifully one of a kind show. It's apocalyptic, dreamlike, a little spooky, and VERY well acted. Performance should challenge norms and expectations and this show makes it a pleasure with a cocktail of theatre and visual art. By not placing narrative at the forefront and using character as the primary emotional core, Elena pulls the audience into a permanent lean-in so as not to miss a word, a phrase, or a gesture, and she manages to work some pretty big laughs out of us as well.... full review

MS 499: Advertising and the Social Construction of Gender

dan prevette · June 22, 2023 certified reviewer
An unabashed delight and absolutely one of my favorite ensemble shows at Fringe! The characters are all fun and unique, it's hilariously acted, skillfully produced, and the costumes are exceptional. It's about as much fun as you can have in a college class.... full review

Homeless Romantic

dan prevette · June 22, 2023 certified reviewer
The perfect Hollywood Fringe show! Tony has this city in his bones and it shows up on stage. Whether he's talking about downtown, the subway, or the open mics, this show is a love letter to the Los Angeles that doesn't get a lot of love. Considering how hard his life has been, his show is blast. It's hilarious, it's sweet, and it's one of a kind. ... full review

The Sad Life Of A Happy Man

dan prevette · June 22, 2023 certified reviewer
A gorgeous show. Ty is a brave and truly honest performer, with an emotional depth and human complexity that can't be taught, only developed the hard way. This show is dark, contemplative, funny, moving, and hopeful. It is good from its surface to its soul, just like Ty is.... full review
