What I liked

I love physical comedy and Ava is so damn good at it! In one moment Ava brings us back to her basketball practice and the ball keeps bouncing back into her body – lol! Then she recreates her gymnastics routine for us and does a fake out (don’t wanna ruin the surprise) that made me giggle so hard. When she makes out with herself I almost died. Then she unicycles across the stage as lil orphan Annie!! I mean come on! Who does that?!!! The vulnerability and turn at the end was touching, beautiful, so well earned and made this comedic solo show a well rounded, thoroughly enjoyable experience! Looking forward to seeing this again and bringing friends!

What I didn't like

No notes! Loved it all!

My overall impression

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! Easily one of my favorite shows all of Fringe! Ava is hi-la-rious! Lorne Michaels are you reading this??!! I hope so because Ava is so friggin funny and such a gifted writer. Even the premise of someone having a funeral for all their lost hopes and dreams is funny. The execution of this premise was perfection!
