A thrilling high-wire act that deftly merges five taut, high-energy performances into a single "solo" show entity that delights and provokes. At turns funny and touching and wildly unpredictable. A big highlight for me at this year's Fringe...

Drew has once again written a play full of humor and vulnerability. I won’t give anything away, but the device he uses to explore identity in today’s chaotic and scary world is incredibly effective. I related to many of the characters, and I walked out feeling hopeful!...

The concept of the personification of our inner facets and emotions is nothing new (both Herman's Head and Inside Out mined this topic), however, Petriello's script is a fresh decidedly fresh and theatrical take. I love the very relatable concept of competing solo shows battling it out within one's head! Combine that with nimble direction by Karsh, and a delightfully charming cast, and you come out with a sweet, hilarious, and ultimately empowering Fringe show!...

I loved the show. It was so clever and hilarious, I'm planning to see it again.
The cast was perfectly balanced and intermingled so well with each other.
Yay for Except Myself....

A really smart and fun piece about all the ways our different parts call out for attention. It felt so potent in an age when being glued to technology has made us afraid to be our full selves around others. I thought the cast did an amazing job, and there were heartbreaking moments alongside a lot of laughs. Definitely worth checking out!...

A very funny and introspective show about self and the different aspects of how someone might handle trauma. A fun twist on what it means to have a “solo” show. Definitely worth a watch!...
