This is exactly what I'm looking for in a piece of theatre, Fringe or no. What an absolute gem. Greg has written an intensely personal show that feels universal, and is incredibly personable as a performer. The story is a real journey, as expertly crafted as it is performed, and it runs the gamut from extreme absurdism to heartbreaking reality. I cannot recommend this show highly enough. ... full review

Woody Fu: One Man John Wick 2.0 (2025)

matt richter · June 25, 2025 certified reviewer
Nothing I can add here that hasn't been more articulately stated in the rest of the reviews. An absolute blast (literally) of a show, featuring a masterful performance of unhinged lunacy. I literally hurt from laughter from the second those tiny headlights graced the stage (it makes sense in context). A joy to watch, regardless of what the line producer says. ... full review

Waiting For A Show

matt richter · June 25, 2023 certified reviewer
What can I say about this show that the other reviewers haven't already said much more eloquently than I? An incredibly unique solo show with an unusual viewpoint (unless you're a theatre nerd like myself) performed solidly. A surprisingly honest, heartfelt work. ... full review

If I'm Good

matt richter · June 25, 2023 certified reviewer
I don't want to say much because this really is one of those shows that the less you know about it the better the experience you're going to have. And this is a show you really should see. It's the perfect storm of incredible writing and direction with really fantastic acting. I saw this too late to promote it for the festival, but if it does extend (AND IT SHOULD) it really is a can't miss. ... full review

The Princes' Charming

matt richter · June 10, 2016 uncertified reviewer
This show exemplifies the spirit of Fringe, for me. It can be enjoyed by anyone who is willing to take a seat. It's irreverent, it's funny, well written, acted and directed. Literally a perfect Fringe piece. ... full review

Love Is.

matt richter · June 24, 2014 uncertified reviewer
Love Is is a solid effort. I felt that the performances were stronger than the material, which is an unusual surprise. The acting is really top notch, across the board. My biggest issues with it were strictly plot and script related, which, with some fine tuning, will result in a real must-see piece of theatre. It's worth seeing this time around strictly for the performances. It truly features some of the finest acting I've seen in this festival. ... full review

Schoolcraft & Murray: Songs For The Inarticulate

matt richter · June 24, 2014 uncertified reviewer
I'm honestly surprised that Schoolcraft and Murray haven't yet had their own Comedy Central special; because that's what Songs For The Inarticulate can best be described as. From the moment the pair hit the stage until the final blackout, these two had me laughing. It's not going to be a life changing event. But if you're looking for an entertainment, then I cannot recommend these two enough. A lot of the humor is LA-centric, so if you're an out of towner some of the material may be lost on you. ... full review

NO HOMO

matt richter · June 24, 2014 uncertified reviewer
It's been a real pleasure to watch Brandon develop as a playwright over the years, and No Homo is by far his best work. It's a great combination of solid writing, good direction, and some downright fantastic performances. Recommended. ... full review

The Wake

matt richter · June 24, 2014 uncertified reviewer
I don't think I can add anything to these reviews that hasn't already been said more eloquently by others. Don't miss this show. And don't ask anybody about it, either. I went in with almost no knowledge about it in advance, and I was blown away. ... full review

Beau & Aero

matt richter · June 24, 2014 uncertified reviewer
First of all, this is truly a show for the whole family. I attended as a solo adult, and was honestly just as entranced as the children in the audience. This show is downright charming. Combining humor and physicality unmatched in a venue so intimate, Beau and Aero is absolutely worth seeing. ... full review
