Les Millénniables

It seems to succeed more as a fast-paced Fringe comedy than as deep social commentary. The jokes, references, and millennial nostalgia are the main attraction, and if that humor clicks for you, the show sounds extremely entertaining.... full review

As a millenial, I have never felt so seen. This was so, so, so, so good. I am so glad that this team is headed to Edinburgh. They deserve it and so much more!... full review
