Human Hothouse: The Aftershow

You go to enough Fringe shows, and you practically expect them to be raw and under rehearsed. Then you see a show as tight and polished and hilarious as Human Hothouse, and you actually start to feel cheated by the other productions you've seen. The acting is clean and delightful, without a wasted moment on stage. Everyone gets their moment to shine and no one is ever upstaged. It is top notch satire filled with faux pretension and physical gags. Must freaking see.... 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

Hilarious! Very inoventive. Great Cast! ... full review

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS SHOW! I laughed continuously throughout. It was so cleverly written and directed, poking merciless fun at social media, social culture, celebrity narcissism and basically anything that lives and breathes. The characters are well balanced and delightful. The energy was great. I wanted more as soon as it was over. Jim Hanna needs to figure out a sequel and bring everyone back again. Each actor was a committed pro with good comedic timing . ... full review

A trenchant, consistently hilarious, and insightful critique of pop culture and show biz, with top shelf performances across the board, which somehow, concurrently manages to remain human and humane. A fantastic job from all involved! So glad I got to see it. ... full review

A comedy worth seeing. Great male cast and three hot women ... full review
