Definitely entertaining. Plenty of funny moments mixed in with some relatable cringeworthy awkward coming of age moments. And something should be said for the excellent taste in music cues. ... full review

#CANCELLED

One thing I enjoy about theater is watching the performers have fun. These ladies were having a blast up there. Fun, flawed, fully narcissistic egos can be the best characters to play, and each of these actresses went for it. It was fun to watch.... full review

A wonderful, yet brutally honest performance that dove much, much deeper than I had any reason to expect. ... full review

Siren Call

This show was completely engaging.... if you like flawed, screwed up, unpredictable characters. And I do. The play is mysterious psychological thriller that is an interesting chess match of wits and bad choices. ... full review

PRETTY, WITTY NELL

I'm a huge fan of this show. These two.... well, there were only two when I saw it.... These two performers are top notch physical and lingual comedians. I'm proud of myself for understanding about 70% of what they Shakespearingly said, but it didn't matter, I absorbed it all - and laughed out loud straight through for an hour. Definitely one of my favorites so far this year!!... full review

F*CK FICTION: True Tales of Life and Death In Paradise

chris valenti · June 10, 2018 certified reviewer
This autobiographical storytelling show was so entertaining, I kinda didn't want it to end. I expected it to be pretty good because I've seen Keith Blaney perform at Comedy Central Stage's Thursday night Sit n Spin many times, but this evening was elevated way beyond my expectations. Keith not only knows how to write an interesting story that moves along and keeps his audience intrigued, but he also delivers it like a seasoned comic veteran, turning ordinary lines into a playful, teasing dances.... full review

"We Are Traffic: An UBER Adventure 2022"

chris valenti · June 20, 2017 uncertified reviewer
Bravo!! Excellent stories. Terrific storyteller. The guy knows how to engage an audience. Plus he weaves a deeper more troubling story underneath his stories of his strange new job and his painful split with his girlfriend - the story of how our society's sense of community and kindness is deteriorating. ... full review

Buffy Kills Edward: A Musical Romp

chris valenti · June 13, 2017 uncertified reviewer
The fun rock tunes and playful actors kept me laughing and tapping along. Laura Wiley's rock tunes and Sheri Berg's performance made the time fly by. Great live music kept the energy rocking. The whole cast was having a blast and it was contageous. I'm not familiar with either show and it didn't matter. The jokes landed anyway. It's a fun Fringe show that you definitely want to catch.... full review
