Hollywood Fringe Festival 2026 Reviews

This show is an engrossing, ugly, and absolutely intense human experience. It perfectly encapsulates the nameless shame and blame that comes with love and lust. A need to watch show.... full review

Overwhelming positive experience.You could really tell the cast and crew had a lot of fun coming together and working on this project, and it was reflected throughout the entire play. The writing stage direction props and actors performances were all done incredibly well. Which turned a 90 minute watch time into feeling like a 30 minute episode and it keeps you wanting more even after a satisfying ending.... full review

I love Bellingham Bay! It's such a unique, heartwarming, comforting show. You walk through a '90s TV series that never existed and become so immersed in the story and characters that the audience laughs, gasps, and cheers throughout. I can't recommend this show highly enough! You've never seen anything like it.... full review

It was a blast! The stories keep you wanting more and more details! A great show! Glad I came! ... full review

As an audience member, I laughed, I gasped, and I participated. I found myself a part of the show in a way that felt fun and playful instead of panicked (my usual feeling with audience interaction). But as a fellow performer... I was simply blown away. OUT THERE is heartfelt and inventive, and, most of all, it's funny as hell. If all that wasn't enough, the technical achievement this show represents is nothing short of a miracle. GO AND SEE THIS SHOW. GO GO GO. GO TWICE.... full review

Absolutely hilarious show packed with very smart and sharp humor that rewards an attentive audience. The comedy is quick witted, current, and full of funny details. Hats off to this cast, who fully committed to these hilarious characters and absolutely nailed their performances. You could watch this show three times and still discover new things to laugh at. The jokes come rapid fire and the writing is well layered.... full review

This show was a blast. The songs and characters are so much fun. The amount of heart on display, and the ultimate realizations of the individual men on the podcast were also insight. A fun time that won't be forgotten soon.... full review
