Comedy

Like children's theatre gone horribly wrong, "Fairy Tales Against Humanity" is a new half-scripted/half-improvised show mangling stories you fondly remember from your youth into hilarious, horrifying abominations. All based on suggestions from some truly special guests and—most importantly—YOU!

A night of two very different solo shows in one very same solo hour.

When a total schmuck finds himself diagnosed with cancer, things only go from bad to worse in this brand new dark comedy from some dudes you never heard of. It's surreal! It's absurd! It's low budget! It's the fringiest Fringe show that's ever fringed! WARNING: You may get bloody!

This veteran character actor and beloved "movie-dad" of Julia Roberts, Hilary Swank, Molly Ringwald, Helen Hunt and many more, shares with you his 60 year career, and his lifelong love of comedy. Mostly funny, often touching, this one man show explores the ways life imitates art and vice versa.

Seeking all ages, genders, and ethnicities as audience members for Broads' Word Ensemble's new, original comedy MUST BE COMFORTABLE WITH. Ability to laugh at quirks of the casting process a plus. Join the conversation! @BroadsWordThtr #MustBComfyW #NotComfy

Family: Ya can't get 'em outta your head...MetaFam, funny & poignant, is an experimental, part improv, interactive solo show in which storyteller & actor Deana Barone breaks conventions & the 4th wall when she inhabits eccentric & hilarious characters from her childhood & present life.

Playwright, Mark Anthony Smith, brings us TITS! In the spirit of Moliere, TITS! is here to challenge religious and social beliefs and hypocrisy. Edgy, raunchy, hilarious and down-right offensive. Rhyming, Music, Drunkenness, Denial and so much more!

Dark comic exploration of sexuality (and lack thereof) through the lens of a confused girl growing up in religiously conservative Mexico, where her chief romantic outlet is a giant stuffed teddy bear. Vanessa Lua hilariously illustrates that virginity can, in fact, survive marriage.

Annie Abbott (Transparent, Castle, Californication, 9 years on LA Law) wrote and performs Giving Up Is Hard To Do, an irreverent, funny take on the audacity and grit needed to be a working character actor and to survive the hurdles of online dating. Joel Zwick (My Big Fat Greek Wedding) directs.

The Church of Scientology had actress Cathy Schenkelberg for 14 years; 5 years after leaving them behind, she has the courage to tell us all about it. This hilarious and horrifying story unfolds under the direction of Shirley Anderson.

Part of Fringe Central's nightly free programming includes Fringe Cabaret, a changing variety act that includes snippets of different Fringe productions.

Tragedy strikes HFF as one of its premiere shows is struck with a tragedy. It's up to a group of Fringe Festival volunteers to keep the show going despite not knowing any lines or what the show is even about. So they make it up as they go along with the help of audience suggestions.

An American farce, a play within a play. The theater world meets TV World as characters watch a young Hollywood producer attempt to create a hit reality TV show by feeding a live man to a giant snake!

FRINGE ENCORE AWARD WINNER & Nominated for BEST CABARET. 2 Encores: July 23rd & 24th- 7:30 pm. Horror! Lurking in dark corners of closets-untouched identities, bought but never worn. Fashion’s a ghoul-so why not sing about it? A romp through bad decisions & embarrassment with a man on base. Bass.
