Emotional Alpha

A masterfully structured show that somehow gets funnier with every passing minute. Andrew Knox stars as Eleos Richard, a Licensed Male Emotions Specialist, and welcomes the audience to an Alpha Male Bootcamp for heterosexual men. As absurd as that premise sounds, the show evolves into something surprisingly heartfelt and moving. This is unlike anything else you'll see at Fringe. It is boldly original, highly conceptual, and consistently entertaining. It may be too early to make predictions, but I have a strong feeling this will end up in my Top Ten of the festival. I already plan to see it again, and I genuinely believe it deserves to sell out every night.... full review

I went in to this show a boy and came out a man. Knox is really cooking here, from the premise to the script to the performance and beyond. Excellent joke writing, outrageously good physical comedy, even great tech cues. ... full review

This is a pristine character show! The jokes are airtight, and Andrew’s ability to perform actual vulnerability in a show that makes fun of performative vulnerability is truly brilliant. A must see for all comedy fans and practitioners!... full review

As a heterosexual man, I was saved by this show.... full review

In a world of Joe Rogan and Kill Tony, "Emotional Alpha" actually cracks at what it means to be a man. Andrew combines character performance, song, dance, and the most hilarious series of jokes into an hour of nonstop entertainment, and then - in the most unsuspecting way - leaves you with a genuinely heartfelt message. A must watch show for anyone that knows a man. ... full review
