My Little Phobia

She was so fun to watch and her relatable anxieties were sprinkled throughout the entire experience. The whiplash twists and turns from reality to her 'show' were hilarious and made you want to get up there and just give her a hug.... full review

Emily is hilarious and captivating in this aesthetically adorable, and cognitively rich solo show. It’s cute, clever, deep, and intriguing. The production design is beyond delightful. Every single piece of pink and purple, however relevant or absurd they might be. Markoe invites the audience into a captivating mash-up of play time & time capsule, as she journeys through the memories preserved in her reimagining of her childhood bedroom complete with conversations with her equestrian action figure therapist. She’s wonderfully expressive and charismatic as she vacillates through the many vignettes that compose the show. Great sound design and costuming as well. It’s everything from silly to serious. Wholly intriguing, with a sprinkle of existe... full review

A smart way of being inside the mind of Emily. Each sketch was cleverly done with tons of laughs and a cool perspective on this crazy phobia. A great physical comedy with such smart writing. Deeply vulnerable and personal which anyone can relate to. A truly unique theater experience! It will leave you also fearing the idea of vomiting! ... full review

As a fellow phobia-haver, I was bowled over by this show. Emily’s going to have you in tears laughing before choking you up with one of the funniest and realest portrayals of how a phobia affects you I’ve ever seen. This show will devastate your abs with roiling chuckles before shattering every misperception you’ve had about phobias.... full review

I LOVED this show! Eccentric humor, surreal settings, and deeply personal and vulnerable. Unexpected and totally up my alley. Emily is so funny and such a smart writer. I appreciated her portrayal of OCD, and felt the show was extremely relatable. I was totally engaged for the entire 50 minutes (which can sometimes be tricky for us neurodivergents ;), and I couldn't wait to see what was next!... full review

Funny, sharp, absurd, fast-paced and personal, Emily delivers a magnificent and nuanced portrayal of OCD. ... full review

I thoroughly enjoyed every second of this show! Emily has a real gift when it comes to storytelling! She let us in, and was absolutely fearless and funny in talking about things that in other hands could be overly dark or “dramatic”, everyone in the audience had such a smile on their face- I felt I walked out of there knowing who Emily is at her core... full review

Don't miss this show! It's hilarious, existential, personal, and a real theatrical experience.... full review

Witty, funny, harrowing, and even scary. This show conveyed the experience of this phobia so well, it left me feeling viscerally anxious afterwards. One of my favorites of Fringe this year. ... full review

WOW such a beautiful and intense delve into the inner mind of Emily and her phobia of vomiting! I felt like I got to experience the phobia and then push it away with Emily and then get submerged in it over and over again while laughing and being enraptured by her emotions and silly manic energy! She felt so comfortable on stage displaying her discomfort. I got to experience her personal upheaval while being sure she had it all together as a performer onstage (which is a feat!). Sometimes personal traumatic and triggering work makes me feel worried for the performer who has to re-experience their pain in front of us but I wasn't worried for Emily for a second. She had a remarkable way of even just holding up a notebook feel funny.... full review
