Loved, loved, loved it!!! TJ wrote a story that was so uniquely him, and yet everyone there found something to relate to??? Not sure how he accomplished that, but he did!

Dating Advice for Useless Queers isn't just a show with queer people in it during Pride. DAFUQ is an intimate yet relatable story about navigating the feeling of pride itself. Teolindo Ramirez's show explores how the intersectionality of our identities mixed with the validation we allow ourselves to derive from relationships can hinder or enhance our search for euphoria as queer people. And it's hilarious too?? If you're looking for a grounded, queer and trans performance to watch during Fringe, this is a show you don't want to miss.... full review

DAFUQ was an electric experience that reminds me how beautiful theatre in LA is. Teolindo jumps between Kara and Russ sharing both advice and experience of finding love concluding with the importance of loving ones self. The audience was vocal which allowed us to be apart of the story. ... full review

D.A.F.U.Q. was honestly one of the most unique and engaging shows I’ve watched. I was really impressed by the acting the use of the small space throughout the show. This is definitely one of the best one-person shows I’ve seen, and I would highly recommend it to others because it offers a different perspective on the characters’ experiences in such a creative and meaningful way. Easily 5/5 stars for me.... full review

D.A.F.U.Q had me giggling and crying. It was so relatable, yet so personal to their experience. It was a beautiful and playful story about relationships, gender expression and acceptance of oneself. The root of the message for me was that deep connection is possible when you accept who you are and express it fully. Rather than creating a digestible version. No matter what gender you are sometime we chain ourselves to societal expectations! Obsessed with the teddy bear lol (if you don’t know, find out). ... full review
