Squeeze My CABARET

bob leggett · June 16, 2019 certified reviewer
Back in 2017, Cathy Schenkelberg created the incredibly popular Fringe show Squeeze my Cans. She’s back with a musical version that is naughty, funny and so much fun, and once again pokes fun at the cult to which she gave 20 years of her life and nearly $1 million. ... full review

Straight White Men Trying To Woke

bob leggett · June 16, 2019 certified reviewer
Chris Valente has been a part of the Fringe for many years but I have never been able to make any of his previous shows. Luckily, I was able to squeeze this one in, and very glad I did. It was a humorous way to address these serious issues, and was well received. Come on out and laugh at these white man “mistakes.”... full review

Rachel Scott brings us an impressive show that addresses the ever-growing college problem of alcohol abuse.   The show is co-written by Scott's real-life college roommate Xan Herring, and based on a true story. This two-hander delivers its point through a series of comedic glimpses into four years of being college roommates, with a very serious ending.... full review

Alive-ish

bob leggett · June 10, 2019 certified reviewer
If there were an award for the most delightful and refreshing piece of art at Fringe, then this show would be a shoo-in. Anabella Funk is a gifted ballet dancer and storyteller that shone the light on suicide and its consequences on those left behind. ... full review

Wigfield

Last year we almost missed out on the stunning Pamela Eberhardt show The Runaway Clone, but thanks to the persistence of Scott Golden, we made it just before the end of its run. This year Eberhardt has adapted a best-selling book into a project of love that has been ongoing for 15 years, and in the process has delivered one of the true gems of HFF19.... full review
