What I liked

Every character, every comic beat, the message, the well crafted story each character told, the interaction with the audience and how the show built to the end. I spent 20 minutes today promoting this show to strangers at The Plunge. Wish I was casting SNL I would swoop Emily right up!

What I didn't like

I wish it was longer – I could have watched another 45 minutes!

My overall impression

Grin and Bear it should win Best Clown Show at Fringe hands down. Emily was so fun to watch. Each sketch was worthy of being on SNL and it was like seeing a young Kristen Wiig perform. I was riveted – and as a comic I’m kind of a hard audience member to impress. But Emily knocked it out of the park!
