JONATHAN WICKREMASINGHE-KUHN certified reviewer June 23, 2015
This show delivers on its premise and then some, skewering different types of one-man shows with deliciously over-the-top performances and absolutely ridiculous metaphors. The writing is stellar and had me laughing over and over again. All of the performers completely embody their characters. Whether you love or hate one-man shows, you should see this!... full review

Had a blast at this show! The writing was spot-on, laugh-a-minute humor. Performances were impeccable, with fully realized characters that clearly benefited from both strong choices and a strong director. This is the perfect Fringe show!... full review

Biting and hilariously dead-on satire that is excellently executed. Did I mention hilarious? A must-see!... full review

Wonderful. So smart. Jim Hanna's writing and acting are exquisite. Tamara Davis is wildly charming. And Darren Toonder is a revelation. What a talented group. So clever and funny. A must see. ... full review

If you've ever seen more than one one-man show, you know there are certain conventions that come with the territory. In this brilliant performance, every one of those conventions gets roundly skewered in the most amazing and hilarious ways. Out of the dozen or more shows I've seen in this year's Fringe, "The 7th Annual One-Man Show World Championships" is a stand-out night in the theater that will make your sides ache, your cheeks hurt and your body want to jump out of your seat to applaud. See it and be blown away!... full review

This show has the funniest opening segment of anything I've seen at the Fringe. The laughs continue throughout, with all the actors 100% committing to their ridiculous characters. It was a fun show, even though, as someone who did a one-man show this year, it made me squirm at my own narcissism.... full review

Jim Hanna has created an outrageously hilarious send up of one man shows. The premice of the "battle of the bands meets middle school forensics" style show where one solo artist emerges victorious is enough to make me laugh. Thankfully, Hanna doesn't stop at premise. Intead he has written four complete one man shows for four solo artist archetypes. Each performer is spot on when delievering their "piece of art". The one theme that ties all of the acts together is brilliance. Brilliantly written, acted and directed this show leaves you wanting more. I cannot wait to see the 8th annual awrds!! This is a fringe must see!!! ... full review

This show was entertaining from start to finish! The writing is pure genius and the talent to match it made this cast a dream team. If you had the opportunity to see this show we got lucky. I will Definitely check them out next year and the years after! ... full review
