The Poe Show

Want to uncomfortably chuckle yourself into unbridled laughter followed by enthusiastic applause? This is your show. It's crazy good! Well done! A powerhouse cast!... full review

Why is it the last show I’ve seen is always my favorite? Favorite or not - The Poe Show is a superb evening of well written, well timed, and well acted dystopian Talk Show joy. Poe is brilliantly played to the hilt by Brendan Hunt, and the rotating cast of side characters makes me want to go back to see what I may have missed. This is one show I certainly hope has a life after the Fringe - for I want mo’ Poe!... full review

I thoroughly enjoyed the wit and whimsy of THE POE SHOW. It's smart, irreverent and just down-right fun. Highly recommend!... full review

I learned so much about literary history by attending this true account of the life and times of Edgar Allen Poe, accompanied by his friends and enemies who were also authors, or presidents, or historical/fictional figures who were definitely real and exactly as portrayed in this show. 9 pustules out of 10, would bleed again.... full review

Brilliant! The audience was falling on the floor. This show is a treasure. ... full review

Inspired silliness. And silliness is very enjoyable indeed when assayed by such accomplished performers. Side note: Shakespeare, who made an appearance tonight, (yes, he did) claims to have coined the word 'eyeball'. Could this be true? It must be because I heard it on The Poe Show.... full review

Fantastic. This is my kind of theatre - smart, witty, historical, zany, and macabre. I'll just say "GO!" because every aspect of this show is on point and I'm SO glad I got a chance to see it!!!!... full review

Funtastic show! I heard about this one from someone I spoke to at another Fringe Fest show. Loved the whole thing including interstitial skits... full review

totally fun! totally funny. great cast and set of characters. LOVE THE COMMERCIALS. and really, you're in such good hands with brendan hunt. this guy is so good at what he does. so adept at comedy and improv and just... someone that you oughtta go see onstage. seeing talent like him and the others feels so good. ed goodman was a great twain (look, I say the names I know, what do you want from me?) and the direction was superb (to keep it moving as you did and being clear) but everyone onstage delighted and endlessly tickled all of us in the audience. And let me just say, the commercials were brilliant, as were the actresses!!!! THE ACTRESSES! TALENTED, FUNNY ACTRESSES! no doubt some of the funniest ladies I've seen for awhile.... full review
