Hollywood Fringe Festival 2026 Reviews

This show is INCREDIBLE. Gretchen is a spellbinding, not-of-this-world performer. She is mesmerizing and authentic, and her passion and emotion connect with you and yank you full-force into her (insane, unnerving, and terrifying) story. The design, the visuals, the sounds, the humor, the multiple talents on display, the research... there is so much going on here, all blended so seamlessly, brilliantly, and energetically into a rapturous hour of theatre. A MUST-SEE this Fringe! ... full review

This was the perfect blend of comedy and statement. A necessary jab at the for-profit healthcare industry and a glance into the world of someone with a chronic illness. ... full review

THIS SHOW WAS ICONIC. Jordan kept us laughing the whole time, and her ability to tell her own story through a variety of ridiculous characters was incredible. I'm bummed the show is sold out the rest of the nights because I would love to see it again! ... full review

A humorous and enlightening romp showcasing our beloved 16th President and his lesser-known beloved, Joshua Speed.... full review

Maddie is soo fun and joyous and it was an honor and a privilege to be let into her silly playful brain. This show is wonderful. I got to be the defendant! And I got off. It's fun to participate in the show through the dolls. I was sad when it was over and had to do real life again.... full review

Funny, weird, and smartly constructed, Doll Court is a delightfully sophomoric courtroom drama.... full review

Radical Acts with Ramon is an antidote to the grief we are experiencing in our world today. This show flies in the face of hopelessness, apathy and sadness, and advocates for education, joyful connection and collaboration with the people around us. This is the cure. Radical empathy for friends, family, neighbors and strangers. Fighting for other people who cannot aways fight for themselves. Researching the issues, discovering new information, calling your representatives, sharing resources. These... full review

This play uses the backdrop of a 1970 event in history to take a deep but witty look, laced with humor, at the endless circle of conflict and war, and the very real toll that it takes on humanity. ... full review

Most original, funny, and creative play I have ever seen. Marie Sadd is one part genius, one part Carol Burnett, and one part Julia Roberts.... full review

Many complex subjects are covered in this tale of love blossoming between a young man and a young woman who meet after being committed to the same psychiatric ward, from family dynamics and genetic predispositions, to the side effects of medications. Beneath all of it is a deep love and concern for each other, hopes for a future together, and a fear of what they know about their own and their families' pasts threatening to hurt that love.... full review

Thought provoking …laugh out loud hilarious !!! Well written … Loved every minute of the show ... full review

Clever, entertaining-unique and interesting plot. Iris Perry was incredible and the other casts were impressive. Show is short and not a lot of moving parts which allows you to focus on the story and performance. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.... full review

Molly could make stale bread entertaining. F*cking Famous is inventive and hilarious.... full review

This show is HILARIOUS! A wry look into the lives of young adults and the chaos that builds at a summer camp. Threesome is funny and heartfelt and sweet and an absolute must-see at Fringe this year!!!!... full review

This show is earnest, zany, and deeply satirical. It's a history lesson! It's a two-person (three? four? five-person?!) variety show! It's a multilayered look at misogyny! It's a hoot! I laughed, I grimaced, I laughed some more, I grinned at the touching ending to a fascinating and funny show. ... full review
