Was it absurd? Yes but in the most fantastic and beautiful ways I never imagined possible! I found myself exhausted from laughing. I can see how every performance would bring something new and wish I could have seen it more. Perhaps I will have the chance to see it again. I hope! Edib congratulations and thank you so much for the inspiration 💗🙏🏽... full review

Edib joyfully brings the audience into the bathhouse full of everyone’s ancestors for a delightful hour of stupidity and heart. And bubbles, so many bubbles. ... full review

One of the best shows I've seen at the fringe!... full review

I was absolutely blown away. Edib is an incredibly talented performer, who is able to toggle back seamlessly between moments of hilarity and devastation, depth and silliness. I loved the way they blended the weight of current events and history with the (ostensible) frivolities of standup and modern day drama. Syrian Soap is an insightful examination of the how our connections to our Ancestors -- their hopes and dreams, their trauma, their sacrifices -- can be as freeing as they are burdensome, as instructive as they are shame-inducing, as perplexing as they are clarifying. It is a really special piece, and I hope everyone sees it!... full review

Edib has amazing stage charisma. The twinkle in their eye carries you through a variety of alternately charming, silly, wry, absurd bits and all the while the laughs keep rolling in. The set and costumes were great, and the Syrian culture and experience that is central to the show is beamed out into the audience with an infectious love. ... full review
