What I liked

The set, the costumes, the format, the freaking everything! My Little Phobia is one of those shows that feels so perfected and refined it’ll leave you dazzled at what Fringe has to offer. Every time Emily goes to clean her room you’ll be shocked and delighted at the journey you just took back to the interminable task at hand. Without spoiling it, the flashlight moment was the absolute highlight of Fringe for me so far, and one of the realest reflections of a human experience so few understand.

What I didn't like

I could have tickets to see it again!

My overall impression

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.
