Batter Up! My Brain on Baseball

I had a blast watching Brett perform his "human tricks." Seeing someone flex their brain in such an engaging and funny way, and make me interested in a topic I generally forget exists (I know, I know) was a highlight of my year.... full review

Easily one of my favorite shows of the Fringe. It's more than just some neat tricks and games this is a love letter to baseball, to a sense of belonging, to the beauty of the human mind and what makes things like sports so important to our culture. Brett comes alive on the stage feeding off the crowd to make a unique experience that has to be experienced to grasp the full wonder of it all. This show needs to get into other cities and fast!... full review

I loved the whole show! He approached his obsession from so many angles; it just keeps surprising and amazing you. How many people can speak that fast, let alone think that fast. What a fun experience for people of all ages and interests!... full review

This show was a delightful break from the standard stage show. And although, I know close to nothing about baseball, it was a continuous good time. Brett is engaging and personable in every respect and takes care of his audience with skill and charm. ... full review

Fantastic. I'm an acquaintance to baseball - I love being at a live game and I'll get into whatever happens to be on TV, but to appreciate BATTER UP, you need only be passionate about something - anything. Brett does a fascinating and hugely entertaining job of showing his "stupid human trick" of his freakishly good memory, but it's not the goofy act of memory that shines through - it's that the deep, deep love of everything baseball is attached to it. The drama comes from the in-show games hoping Brett can guess the correct names or numbers, but the heart has nothing to do with statistics. This man cares DEEPLY about baseball. And his convictions and love instill the audience with the same reverie. If you love anything passionately, you wil... full review

Batter Up! felt more like a conversation with a friend than a theatrical production, and I mean this in the best possible way. Brett's love for baseball makes listening to a chronological listing of all the teams that lost in the World Series both endearing and something to root for; seeing Brett dig back through his years of baseball knowledge to triumphantly retrieve and share is both a remarkable feat of investment but also engrossing to observe. Even if you don't love baseball, this show gives you something to don't encounter every day: emphatic and earnest enthusiasm for a lifelong pursuit.... full review

It was so so so lovely and so charming! Brett is a master of absolutely everything baseball and it was such a tribute to not only his love for baseball, but his knowledge as well.... full review

What a fun show! Mr. Moore’s enthusiasm for baseball is infectious. The best way to describe it is it’s like the theater equivalent of meeting a stranger in a bar who talks at you non-stop about their favorite hobby which you know nothing about, but they’re so charming and passionate about it you can’t help but be entertained.... full review

Think of it like the close-up magic you see by the wandering magicians at the Magic Castle. This one is interactive and will have you cheering along, and there are prizes. ... full review

Regardless of how much YOU like baseball, you will love how much BRETT MOORE does. Brett's very personal exploration of his mind's fascination with baseball was an absolute joy to experience. Part one-man show, part game-show, this is one of the best pieces I've seen so far in this Fringe season. EVERYONE should come see this show immediately.... full review
