What I liked
The swords.
What I didn't like
Honestly every one of your shows should be the midnight show. Sorry!
My overall impression
I performed at the Hollywood Fringe Festival for the first time in 2023, and met a whole bunch of incredible, ridiculous, beautiful artists. Our goal was to share our art, meet people, and grow as artists and humans. Emblematic of this community of weirdos who keep coming back to spill their guts and discover who they are is Riley. This show has a soft spot in my heart. It keeps getting better as Riley keeps becoming more of who he is. On it’s surface this show is a stupid, Sisyphusean challenge that tickles all the nerdy nostalgic millennials in the room. But it’s so much more than that. It’s hysterical. It’s heartfelt. It’s a community-enriching celebration of what brings us all out to this kind of thing in the first place. I fucking love this show, it’s a highlight of the festival every year, and I will make it my personal business to see that Riley doesn’t stop doing these until Frodo’s on the boat to the grey havens.
