A singing ZOMBIE musical with doses of family trauma, sibling camaraderie, and the healing power of love... does it get much better? I think not. I came into this show expecting to be uplifted and to laugh and the show did not disappoint on either level! A very talented cast and crew delivered a Fringe show worthy of it's captivating title! I applaud the messaging in this show, how a family came together, but also had to experience real life together without sugar-coating everything. It felt... full review

I demand a refund for my 4-year undergraduate degree - why couldn't all of my college professors engage me like Professor Richard Fondler? The laughs were bountiful, the wordplay plentiful, and the sexual information prolific and generous! I can only say you'll come out knowing much more than you could ever hope (or want) to concerning your parts, bits, acts, deeds, et. al. ... full review

I am so very grateful to have a theatre company like NEO Ensemble participating in the Fringe! While they are at it, they are also showcasing some truly wonderful acting and writing to boot! Laughter is truly the best medicine with all the craziness happening in the world and this cohesive team of players are clearly having a blast sharing all that is INAPPROPRIATE!... full review

Allow me to say that this is one performer and one show that is not afraid to GO THERE, STAY THERE, PLAY AROUND THERE, GET DIRTY THERE, BE UNCOMFORTABLE THERE, and FIGURE OUT WHAT THE HELL TO DO ABOUT IT, THERE! That's a shit-ton of "there," to deal with, but I can only marvel at the pure bravery it takes to turn a deeply personal and unimaginable tragedy into not only rip-roaring comedic gold, but also, deeply, captivating performance art! Ultimately, from my humble perspective, this solo show... full review

You had all of me at the title! I came to this show not knowing the artist, any of the creative forces involved and very little about what the show was about (on purpose, as I like to be surprised with my fringing), and I was so PLEASANTLY DELIGHTED IN ALL THE WAYS! ALL THE WAYS!! Laser is my kinda guy: a truth-telling, take-me-as-I-am (and that means all of me), you-know-you-gonna-love-me, charismatic performer! I love everything his show stands to share with the world and know it will conti... full review

Love original songs? Love astrology? Love a serio-comedic look at how the stars make us who we are? Then, this show has got you covered and then some! I came to this show because I love all of the above, but not knowing exactly what to expect, and I left with a large smile on my face! Performer Emma Irene Olson certainly came to entertain and allows all of the aspects of her chart to shine through! And the gal can SING and has quite the vocal range to prove it! ... full review

"They say that breaking up is hard to do..." Can I get an AMEN?!?! Truer lyrics to a song could not be more appropriate than they are here when I think of this serio-comedic, gut-punching, two-hander brilliantly acted by Emily Yonker and David Auspitz! At times, the darkness of this relationship was brutally uncomfortable and left me squirming in my seat, and at other times, I couldn't help but HONK OUT LOUD at the dark humor swirling around the dismantling of this five-year relationship gone s... full review

From concept to execution, this whole show pretty much stole my heart. Who doesn't love an honest heart-to-heart conversation with their 11-year old PUPPET-like self? Who wouldn't want to call their adult-self out on some of the b.s. coming down the pike? Who wouldn't be both surprised or terrified of several truth bombs being hurled at you by yourself, while also finding comfort from that same self? All I can say is that Hannah and Cole were both thoroughly entertaining from start to finish ... full review

Inspirational showcase of how strong the human spirit can be in spite of the unimaginable! With a blending of the courageous, the devastating, the humorous, the religious, Mariela Castillo's solo show was indeed, one worth journey this audience member enjoyed being transported on. The overall messaging about when one rotten apple is able to be planted, my... the things it is able to do was spot on glorious!... full review

Female empowerment personified and brought to life straight from the "source" or yoni by four EXTREMELY gifted actresses, each formidable storytellers in their own, unique right, a top-notch, detail-specific director, and exceptional designers who highlight the best of what the Fringe can do... I declare this is a MUST SEE!! The moments of laughter coupled with moments of fear, anger, uncertainty, and exploration were so brilliantly woven together, I just applaud this team of talent and wish con... full review
