Banana Man Live creates a whimsical world that uses humor and absurdity to explore what it feels like when you don’t fit neatly into the boxes around you. ... full review

Such an amazing experience. “What Survives” is a very thoughtful and poignant one act, comprised of five vignettes. Each scene helps to create a venn diagram of the struggles we all face in today’s America. A beautiful combination of drama and levity. Rachael Meyers has bravely opened a dialogue on subjects that are not always easy to discuss, but certainly a part of our, now, new normal. I struggle to say more, because I want viewers to be just as surprised as I was. All ten actors are perfec... full review

HILARIOUS! Felt like being in a room with your best friends, drinking cocktails/wine and LOSING YOUR SHIZ over peoples' stories.

You can’t spell “commit” without two “m”s. Those two “m”s stand for Molly McLean. She commits to the bit. Then commits to committing to the bit. Then commits to committing to the bit that she’s committed to committing to. LA area museums need to immediately grant her a residency to perform this masterpiece. I cannot recommend this show enough!... full review

The hottest, most exclusive nightclub in all of Fringe. A masterclass of clown work with top tier performers that will remind you how thrilling live comedy can be. This late-night showcase gathers an impressive lineup of clown performers, each bringing a uniquely bizarre, inventive, and unforgettable character to the stage. The show has an edge to it, embracing the weird, the unexpected, and the delightfully uncomfortable in ways that make live comedy feel exciting and unpredictable. Hosted by th... full review
