Thank You So Much For Coming

Alex is a gifted performer who gets into character and has no reservations about what she does. It's unique, odd, hilarious, and possesses a deep melancholy at its core. This show (among the hundreds at Fringe) is one you will remember. ... full review

Totally unlike anything I've ever seen and I'm OBSESSED. Absolutely brilliant!!... full review

A dinner party that slowly descends into madness. Alex Kern as Cynthia is such a fascinating character study into the mind of a hostess with clearly alot on her plate. She is funny, vulnerable, and so incredibly talented. She had full control of the room (which is impressive given that it was sold-out). Her audience interactions were hilarious and weird. Mildly uncomfortable but still fun to watch. By far, however, my favorite part was the descent into madness. I really enjoyed the use of lighting and improv in this show. The slow unhinged-ness of it all is exactly why this is a must see. What starts off as a simple bit of awkwardness slowly transforms into horror theater. ... full review

I went in not knowing what to expect and I left being blown away. I thought it was brilliant. Alex's Cynthia creation reminded me of a character from a Tennessee Williams play; someone oblivious to the real world and who fancies herself to be socially dynamic when in fact she is lonely, awkward, and desperate to connect with another. I loved the audience interaction and improv and it showed Alex's quick wit. This has been a show I recommend to people. ... full review

Alex commands the stage in a way that you can only love her, there’s really no other option. Her talent embodies Cynthia so well that you forget you are watching a show and instead are immersed in Cynthia’s world and you just want to be her friend. Alex is hilarious, bringing the audience in, to have a ball and a lot of laughs, all while we are still relating to this character and seeing what’s also happening underneath the surface. So many emotions. So much fun. So much talent. All in one black box. ... full review

Honestly, I had no idea what I was getting myself into and loved every moment. Alex is charming, funny, vulnerable, and works a crowd like a pro. ... full review

Hilarious, interactive, and thought provoking! So enjoyed experiencing this show live, couldn't recommend it enough. The amount of play that Alex has and can come up with in the moment with the audience is remarkable.... full review

Alex's crowd work is incredible. The character of Cynthia that she fully embodies draws you into her world with open arms. This is one party you don't want to miss !... full review

This was the best character-based improv with audience members I’ve seen. I was laughing from before she even appears on stage. The show pushes the envelope of audience discomfort but never crossed the line where I felt unsafe or picked on. I highly recommend it and I’ll go see whatever Alex does next.... full review

God, this was such a good time. A descent into pure madness in ways I would never have anticipated, but was delighted by the whole way through. You've really got to make sure you see this one... full review
