What I liked
The acting. The concept. The writing. The structure. The vignettes.
What I didn't like
Ah man, the fight scene felt out of place to me. It was fun, but it jarred me out of it. The couch broke haha that was very fun for me haha
The ending was tonally confusing to me. But up until that point I was very invested in this story and the characters.
My overall impression
Suck My Tongue is a highlight of my 2024 Fringe experience. The play is well written by Benjamin Schwartz. I am really impressed by the idea and premise of this show. I liked the Western PR team angle.
This is my third time seeing Ryan Lisman perform; he continued to impress with another layered performance.
Spencer Weitzel is one of my favorite actors and he reminded me again why. His grounded commitment in the absurdity of the situation at hand and his ability to play manic realistically makes for my favorite kind of comedy.
Brian Graves has the toughest role to play and I thought he did a great job finding the truth of the character.
I was a fan of the vignettes and I thought Jaz Dicey absolutely knocked it out of the park. She was brilliant. It felt a tad too long, but it made me wish that she had more of a voice in the show.
Overall, Suck My Tongue is a fun ride and a MUST-SEE at this year’s Hollywood Fringe Festival.
