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. I loved it....

Director John Picks creates some nice moments where the staging ....

People write damn foolish things on the ol' Craigslist. As a denizen of the Internet and a strong believer in the burgeoning array of experimental fiction coming from it - Amazon reviews, greentext, trolling, Tumblr escapades, ad infinitum - I see nothing wrong with themed shows that cull material from the great expanse of weird that lurks behind a billion computers. That said, it seems to be irresponsible to present a show as fact when some pieces seem too far-fetched to be an earnest offer. Considering no statement was made to indicate the posts were "true" or "honest," I suppose the bases are covered, but I found it difficult to discern whether or not the source material was genuine commerce and not occasionally whimsical.
The night I ...

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. ...
