What a blast! This was one of the first shows I saw this Fringe. It was a great way to get in the Fringe mood. I loved that the sketches excellently walk a fine line of reality and ridiculousness. I had such a good time from the very start as the hosts of the ABQ Fringe 2025 perfectly set you up and get you ready for the fun that continuously ensues! And the different nicknames for the ABQ fringe that are spouted out each scene kept me laughing all night!... full review

This show was absolutely delightful! I am so glad I went to this show and highly recommend it! Very cleverly written with exceptional performances from every actor! If you need a good time, this show kept me laughing the entire time.... full review

Material is clever, creative, and very very funny. Mostly strong performances, with the women overall stronger than the men (Jim Blanchette being a notable exception). Particularly impressed with the number of characters many of the actors were able to differentiate clearly. One extremely minor quibble about the writing: The conceit is that the show takes place ten years in the future, but -- apart from a single joke near the start -- the material seems firmly tied to present-day culture. Warning: The potential for emotional turmoil exists if you object as strongly as I do to receiving chocolate but being simultaneously ordered not to eat it.... full review

Fun show with perky, confident performers, send-ups of different show stiles (the musical parodies were particularly wicked fun) and a hilarious puppet goose. Everyone in the cast was great but Jim Blanchette, Jacob Smith, Lauren Flans and Lisa K. Wyatt were, in this humble author's opinion, worthy of the old SCTV line-up in terms of solid performance, diversity of style and that wee touch of madness that makes this kind of material so fun to watch. ... full review

Fun and entertaining.... full review

Zany, silly, and musically superb ... that's how I would describe this show. And every actor gave 110% to every moment on stage ... they had so much fun so we had so much fun!! So thank you for a crazy, air-conditioned ride ... I loved it!... full review
