Hollywood Fringe Festival 2026 Reviews

I've seen other productions done by Alice, which were great, but this original script is absolutely brilliant. Went to preview night and 10/10 recommend. It was written for a modern audience, but is also full of references/easter eggs to nerd out on, so it can be for anyone to enjoy.  Very clever & had a blast, and of course as a 'coffeehead' I loved the thematic elements :)  Get thee to this beanery!... full review

Fantastic cast, a wonderful mix of strong actors who all walk the line between comedy and drama. What an ensemble. And great simple production design, lights, fight choreography, etc. ... full review

I loved this show so much. Albie is such a great storyteller and I was invested in his story the entire time. What an incredible life and journey he's had. ... full review

This Sweet Show had a lot of Fun bits. And it was an interesting turn of events to lead into how someone can become a dad. And begs the question, if anything happens in between death and birth, or birth and death since time is Toothpaste apparently.... full review

"Please Don't Freak Out" was a beautiful one-person show by Sydney Rene Cox that is a unique dialogue around death, mental health, and suicide. The script was raw and ultimately... human. Sydney Rene Cox engaged the audience throughout the show with her captivating acting and dialogue. "Please Don't Freak Out" is a must see at Hollywood Fringe 2026! ... full review

Waiting For Guffman meets Romy and Michele! Hilarious story about friendship, art and creativity in the trash bag world we live in. I laughed, I cheered, I got a little lump in my throat. Don't miss this 30 minute experience!... full review

Went to see this outstanding work of art Paper Flowers on Sunday afternoon. What a story to be told. It's a thought provoking story of how many ancestors were treated by bigotry and racism. It's heart warming and tear jerking to say the least. The actors were totally amazing. Each actor/actress embodied their character and brought them to Life. It's a must see play with a beautifully diverse cast. Congratulations on a well performed show in 70 mins. ... full review

This is a thoughtfully crafted story with complex characters and perspectives. It lets you draw your own conclusions, you will laugh and you will cry.... full review

An truly compelling story filled with rich, complex characters and it also happens to be unbelievably funny. Ann Loud has a rare versatility and willingness to push herself beyond what should honestly be possible (there is a knife fight in this solo show).... full review

What a wild ride through the world of the Jeff family! This is the Jeffs like you’ve never seen them before: at the Hollywood Fringe Festival!

Social commentary that bites like a venomous viper protecting its nest? YUP!!!... full review
