Todd Macabre

I love love loved this show. I was spellbound from the moment it began to the moment it ended. It is a FORCE of a show. An epic adventure with fantasy, comedy, tragedy, truth- it sounds cliche but it’s everything you could want from a show. Masterful clowning and storytelling. So inventive. Some elements I’m truly just like how did he even do that?! Performance sorcery. I want to see it again!! ... full review

At once a case-study in precise clowning and a gorgeous revelation of the people inside us that we keep tucked away, Todd Macabre is, in other words, a beautiful marriage of form and content. One of this festival's best shows by a country mile.... full review

Spooky, kooky, and batshit insane! ... full review

whoa, this show is a masterclass in the plethora of skills one needs to call oneself an actor. What a voice, what an instrument!... full review

Ian Bratschie delivers an incredible performance weaving clowning, creative storytelling, and personal truths into a truly unique show.... full review

Gawd what an epic journey! From the moment you walk in to the spooky ooky foggy forest to when Ian comes out, you're in for a ride. This is a stupidly masterful show and one of my favorite clown shows at Fringe. ... full review

Just brilliant! Ian’s trust for his audience creates this beautifully communal experience. A container that ultimately feels like it allows him to be real and revealing. ... full review

This was the most delicious, funny, cryee (in a good way), interactive (in a good way) show ever. I left feeling lighter.... full review

So well done! Extremely creative, ambitious. It was also inclusive in how the audience interaction was a pretty big part of the show. I love this show very much. Ian's performance had so many layers and depth, by the end of the show i was surprised in the best way possible. An awesome journey that had laughs, creeps, and introspection/self discovery. Amazing work all around. Favorite of the bunch I got to check out this fringe fest.... full review

One of my favorite shows of fringe. Ian is an idiot supreme. This show is perfectly a constructed cantankerous comedy. (Sorry for the alliteration). I loved the metaphor of the show -- a perfect premise that I won't give away. I laughed nonstop for an hour straight and that was very healing indeed. ... full review
