A hilarious parody of a solo show anyone in LA has most likely been forced to sit through. Perfectly written, performed and directed, this joyful ride of a play is filled with hot tips and inside jokes... I probably should have watched this show BEFORE putting up my own solo show. Funny and engaging, Matt and Jim are perfection together as they tear each other apart and lead us through the inner workings of a stage show gone terribly awry. You'll laugh, as a solo show performer you'll probably c... full review

This was an incredible theatre experience (even if you have to remind yourself numerous times... i... full review

Engaging, hilarious, this is the epitome of the perfect Fringe experience. Two immensely talented women present two completely different yet perfectly paired shows. I laughed, I cried, and marveled at these two powerhouse writers and performers. I loved this show :) Alyssa's use of movement and mixed media helped tell a story that every woman can relate to in the most unexpected, unique and just really f*cking cool way. She is an fiercely talented performer with an incredible knack for impression... full review
