Adam's commitment to inhabiting Conrad (and what inhabits Conrad) is a marvel. Such a beautiful study of focus and stillness, with these bursts of the kinetic energy which pules through you. A truly haunting show that will make your skin crawl.... full review

THE BODY

I really enjoyed the structure of the show, and the opportunity for many of these skilled performers to show their range (and for some of them, to show just how far their charm alone could carry them... to be clear, very far).... full review

STRONG STOIC STRAITZ: ALPHA PODCAST FOR MALE KINGS (a musical)

tom szymanski · June 26, 2026 certified reviewer
This might be my favorite show of the festival. And after it's all said and done (so long as I don't miss any in the next couple days), I'll have seen 72 shows. So, trust me. It is one of the funniest shows I have EVER seen, not just at this Fringe. It is peak satire, brilliantly written, performed, and produced. And the music is amazing! I can't say enough good things about this show.... full review

D.A.F.U.Q. – Dating Advice For Useless Queers

tom szymanski · June 21, 2026 certified reviewer
Deserving of consideration for Top of Fringe. It's so funny, tragic, and hopeful. Such an incredible and vulnerable exploration of dating while trans so perfectly personified through the contrasting characters of Kara (a cis white woman and dating advice columnist) and Russ (he/they) (a chronically ill, chronically single, Filipino/Dominican, Nonbinary, Bi guy.... full review

Bebé Bebé

tom szymanski · June 21, 2026 certified reviewer
An absolute masterclass in clowning, especially her contact with the audience. Such vulnerability and humor in a show that tackles motherhood, identity, and the person (or creature?) that Veronica became postpartum.... full review

Alps, Adieu!

Who knew assisted suicide could be so funny!? A fantastically written and performed family dramedy which you will absolutely love!... full review

SOMETHING SPOOKY

Such a funny, spooky time! Definitely had my skin crawling a few times. Fear and laughter are so close to one another and Jon is such a tremendous storyteller, effortlessly weaving the two together.... full review
