Slürt

Transcendent, Outrageous, and Joyous. Maverick speaks the universal languages of love, party, despair, fear, and healing. Like if Elf had nothing to do with Santa, and was about a gorgeous psychic ice princess instead. Hilarious and healing. You don't HAVE to let it speak to you, but if you DO let it speak to you, it will. I traveled the globe without leaving my seat. I don't want to post the moral/thesis that I discerned from it, because I want people to have their own experiences. But, I will say it was a message of love, and one that I needed to feel. ... full review

Emily is from another realm and she brings you to this wonderland with her clown character, Slurt. A transportive experience, this show is as funny as it is wildly inventive. And so dumb (which is the highest clown compliment one can give). ... full review

Emily is a magnificent, silly goose with a unique voice and presence. All must experience her aura before she ascends to immortality. ... full review

So silly and so fun. Slurt was a a simple idea explored with with wonder and joy. I've been trying to see this since Spaghetti Fest and it was worth the wait.... full review

Unreal. Masterpiece clown work. One of the funniest shows I’ve ever seen at this festival. And honey, I grew up in LA!... full review

Slürt is a fish-out-of-water story about an impressionable young stranger. Like all good clown shows, its vulnerability is its strength, a great showcase for Emily Maverick and a funny and touching narrative.... full review

This was absolutely incredible. This show is a must see. Emily is a one of a kind comedian with a beautiful spirit who exudes love and sheer silliness at the same time. Her free spirit and joy, combined with great story and fun clown games makes for one of my favorite shows at fringe so far. RUN DONT WALK TO SEE! ... full review

Magical, mesmerizing, simple and hysterical. Maverick is the type of performer that is so captivating and enchanting you never want to look away, you don’t even want to blink. Her presence as a clown is unmatched. It feels so effortless and grounded. Maverick balances tenderness and hilarity and we fall in love with Slurt immediately. I laughed cover to cover. Maverick is the perfect clown and a perfect trickster— she’s is a master of the craft, LA’s finest. Her spirit is so felt, she brings you on such an ingeniously stupid adventure. She pulls off the gibberish aspect of the show with so much finesse. Only she could make this show and it’s so special. Stand ovation, 10 out of 10. I would see it again. Slurt is iconic. ... full review

Slürt is a fantasmagorial fever dream that makes Björk look boring. It was exhilarating to witness my first ever live-action documentary. Go and see this show.... full review

Who needs language when you have a dynamic and hilarious performance like this? Emily pulls it off in this masterful and magical show. ... full review
