Wet Hot AMUSICAL Summer

This show is why people come to Fringe. FUN!!! Sometimes you see a show that makes you think, this is not one of those shows. You want a hilarious escape from the overly serious world of real life? Go see Wet Hot! This show has everything- singing, dancing, midriffs, wigs! I laughed, then laughed some more. You will be entertained, resistance is futile. ... full review

Husky Whispers: Baked Alaska

mandy rubeli · June 05, 2026 certified reviewer
Riley and Cole never fail to make me laugh! Their characters and lyrics are hilarious and ridiculous, and I'm hooked the entire time. Beyond the comedy, they're genuinely talented musicians, which makes the whole experience even more impressive. Funny, clever, and endlessly entertaining <3 ... full review

Banana Man LIVE

alon dina · June 05, 2026 certified reviewer
What an imaginative and deeply moving piece of theater. The best way I can describe it is as "live theater animation". Banana Man Live is a production that feels as though a cartoon has come to life on stage through creativity, movement, and sheer theatrical ingenuity. If you allow yourself to step into Ari Fromm's (and Natalie Dressel's) imaginative world, you'll be richly rewarded. The story follows a banana on a journey of self-discovery. Beneath its playful premise lies a thoughtful and surpr... full review

DWNYC

alon dina · June 05, 2026 certified reviewer
This production is an adaptation of Harold Pinter's The Dumb Waiter, relocated to 1970s New York. I am a fan of Harold Pinter's work and I appreciated the opportunity to see this classic brought to life on stage. The play's tension, ambiguity, and dark humor remain intact. The performances are solid, and that feels to be the main focus of the production. Two actors produced this project and that is respectable, I am loving the emergence of classical works at the Hollywood Fringe Festival. For tho... full review

Wet Hot AMUSICAL Summer

alon dina · June 05, 2026 certified reviewer
A musical parody of campy theater about a movie that is a revival of a cult classic, one of the most fun experiences in all of Fringe! If you're looking for smart, strange, high-energy comedy and a night of pure entertainment, this is a must-see. It's a celebration of over-the-top theatricality that embraces its ridiculousness with infectious enthusiasm. Award-winning Cherry Poppins Theater Company does it again, with another smash hit at the Hollywood Fringe Festival. Expect to be entertained a... full review

PartyBoy

alon dina · June 05, 2026 certified reviewer
I had seen Adam Smith's previous work, so I came in expecting to be entertained and he did not disappoint. Party Boy follows a man seemingly searching for connection amid the chaos of his own party, at least as I interpreted it. The show is an immersive experience driven by a character whose awkward, unpredictable energy evokes the spirit of Andy Kaufman and Zach Galifianakis. Much of the humor comes from watching him navigate his own discomfort, creating moments that are both cringeworthy and hi... full review
