Best of Craigslist: Live! is a concept so simple and effective, you'll wish you'd thought of it. John Pick's stellar and eclectic cast don't rest on the idea alone however. They go all out, each doing a phenomenal job bringing to life some of the strangest posts you've ever heard with fully-realized characters. As much a showcase for the talent of the ensemble as it is an exploration of how much insanity there is in the world, Best of Craigslist: Live! is a hilarious and thoroughly enjoyable show.

Loved it! Perfect stories, fantastic cast. I had fallen in love with Dana DeLorenzo when she was on Craig Ferguson, and she had two classic bits of great comedy worth the price of admission alone. The rest of the cast - just as good! Perfect for out-of-towners interested in seeing a good all-ages Fringe show, and great for Fringe fans looking to see how great LA comedy can be. ... full review
