Brilliant! From the moment Jim Hanna steps on stage to the final curtain bow, HHTA never misses a beat. The energy from the actors radiates into the crowd to form a symbiaotic relationship that entertains and makes ya think without getting beat over the head! All the actors are grounded, real, and specific...all lending to me buying in to being part of the studio audience...which ties everything up in a nice bow. One of the most enjoyable hours of theatre ever experienced. This is a must-see! ... full review

Great, great script performed by incredibly talented comedic actors. Like holy shit this show is so funny it made me angry and jealous that I didn't write it. And that is not an easy thing for me to admit. I was blown away by all the performances, but Katie Streeter's performance as Cadence, her subtly blossoming drunkenness coupled with her blinding narcissism, was a stand out. As was Jayden Lund's turn as Max (heh heh) the pretentious blowhard in the Kevin Smith-esque jersey. ... full review

Fun and funny satyrical take on the "After Show" concept in which the live show goes terribly awry with the host ultimately throwing up her hands and letting the implosion implode.... full review

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS SHOW. And I hate after shows. HATE them. I think having a show that's nothing but overblown fan appreciation stretched out to an hour is the height of wasted space in an hyper-saturated media. It caught the nature of this type of self-promoting nonsense perfectly and then added real twists and intrigue into the middle of the fluffy irrelevant crap. Beautifully done, beautifully acted, beautiful across the board.... full review

A delightfully twisted piece of satire that delivers laugh after laugh. Tight and polished. Not a single moment is wasted. Great script. Well-paced. Brilliant performances from every member of this ensemble. Everyone gets their moment to shine so no one is stepping on other actors to fight for attention. It's refreshing to see a group that has respect for the art of comedy. Jim Hanna is a damned genius. Go see this play.... full review

I love a good, biting, over-the-top satire. I love an ensemble cast that knows how to play well with each other. I love when a show asks the audience for participation. I got all this and more. I didn't stop laughing, and it was a fantastic and much needed distraction for me. ... full review

There was a big hype about how funny this was and it is even funnier than I expected- hardest I have laughed all fringe festival -. Biting humor, flawless performances, sharp and smart script. This brilliant cast stays committed to the most ridiculous story - but one that is all too familiar and real in many ways- a we follow a bunch of terrible, self-centered people on a tv show (aftershow) - imagine that-- but in spite of their flaws I fell in love with each of them and the ending made me just about die of laughter. I'd see this again in a heartbeat- well done.... full review
