The 7th Annual One-Man Show World Championships

The best Fringe show I have ever seen and one of the funniest shows I have ever seen, period. It takes an 'Emperor Has No Clothes' approach to the ponderous and pretentious nature of theater that equates death, disease, addiction and abuse with insight and rips every sacred cow a new one. This show is deeply silly and so are the characters. Every single performance is hilarious and incisive. Every damn one. I loved this show.... full review

The 7th Annual One-Man Show World Championship preview had the audience belly laugh with delight at its send up of everything that can go wrong with one person pitted against the other to see who is more damaged. Dan Tooner as the defending champion was hilariously pompous and indulgent. Tamara Davis and Sarah Chaney were both quirky and a lesson to be nice to your tech crew. Jim Hanna brings it all home with a wonderful delivery that is as dry as toast and timing of a true champion. Go see this!! ... full review

This is one hilarious lampoon of a Fringe staple. I was laughing so hard I had a coughing fit. Darin Tooner and Jim Hanna led an absolutely hilarious cast in lovingly skewering the one-man show. I could fill two reviews with all the things I thought were so great about this show, but I don't want to spoil anything accidentally. Do yourself a favor. Go see this show while you can still get tickets.... full review

Loved it! Amazing!!!... full review

I LAUGHED ! I CRIED ! Actually that's a lie, I didn't cry once. And that's a good thing, because when you are parodying sob stories the last thing you want is someone to sob. The wit of the show along with the humor with which the actors approach their characters make it one not to be missed!!!... full review

This. Show. ROCKS. An absolute pleasure. Hilarious. Poignant. Honest. Absolutely worth the time. One of the best shows I've seen in LA. ... full review

The 7th Annual One-Man Show Championships. Run to see this send-up of one-man shows. Brilliantly written and performed. It's insane.... full review

WARNING: Do not wear spanks or even a belt to this performance, as you are likely to bust a gut laughing at this phenomenonal show! Even those w/glasses should add a chain, or they will fly off! Jim Hannah has written an absolute delight from start to finish! Each performance is skilled comedy at it's finest!!! The only negative about this show, is that you might miss a couple one liners hidden amongst the never ending chorus of gaffaws!... full review

Here's the thing, Fringers: this show is so good that I hate Jim Hanna because it makes me want to be him, or at the very least it makes me wish I'd written this show. Or was in it. Or could at least stop thinking about it. Now excuse me while I go buy a block of tickets to see it a 2nd time and take a slew of folks. P.S. - the cast is PHENOMENAL (with a special shout-out to alternate Lindsay Wray, who blew me away). DO NOT MISS THIS SHOW.... full review
