Doll Court was one of my favorite theater/comedy experiences of my life. It will stay with me forever. I hope I get to see this show again someday. Why do so many of us stop playing with toys as we grow up? Who is telling us to stop and why?? I think Doll Court makes a strong case for adults to keep playing with toys and not lose our sense of whimsy. Life is too damn short to not be whimsical. Thank you Doll Court for reminding me.... full review

Goody was a party in the woods with my best witchy friends. Elena is such a standout when it comes to audience engagement in a way that is as playful, as it is meaningful to who Goody is as a character. I wanna be friends with Goody, just as much as I want to throw tomatoes at her. Right from the start, Elena grabbed my attention without saying a word for wayyyyy longer than expected. This show made me like the pick-me girl and had my attention the whole time. A masterclass in crowd work, and a s... full review

Harper-Rose is a force on stage. She is authentic, relatable, silly, witty, tapped in, and MAGNETIC above all else. What a talent! She and Greg have created something special together, and I am grateful to witness their chemistry as a duo. I would watch a million more of their shows! ... full review

Loved it! My favorite of Fringe. I laughed for an hour straight. "It took one sentence for a woman to say what took a man an hour." Go see it whenever and wherever he puts it up next!... full review

Dana and Justin are such a dynamic pair as actors and creative partners. Dana’s writing was sharp, grounded, well-paced, and very funny. The direction seamlessly moved from dialogue scenes to stand up comedy scenes and immersed the audience in the plot. The basic premise of the play is an unknown woman tests out a famous male-comedian’s jokes to see if they’re actually funny or if he’s just a famous man — genius concept and so well-executed. I loved the climatic moment when Naomi reads Alex’s “bo... full review

Mimi Collins wrote and performed a phenomenal show. I was with Alix every single step of the journey. I understood why she stayed with her husband and deeply empathized with her optimism that he could change, which made it all the more devastating after each betrayal. I appreciated each time Alix, a badass modern woman, implied that if she could just satisfy her husband, then he wouldn't HAVE to cheat as if she was taking subconscious responsibility for his fidelity. It was vulnerable, nuanced mo... full review

Amazing performance, I was engaged the whole time! Felt very real, loved the costume and design, the aesthetic.. the story..need more!! ... full review

They totally nailed 1991 in this fun campy show. Loved the creative, low tech lighting effects.... full review

A really fun and oddly cozy mashup of horror and stand-up comedy. Something about Jon Schnitzer's whole presentation here reminds me of Jonathan Frakes hosting "Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction," which I think Schnitzer would be perfect to host a revival of. And it PAINS me to say that, because that would also be my dream job. ... full review

I was deeply moved by this story and Destiny Faith's knock out performance. The final monologue had me sobbing. It is a specific and personal story and yet it is an extremely relatable snapshot of the times we're living in. I think Black millennial women everywhere know this story intimately, but I think it will resonate with anyone in their own way. ... full review

Last Sunday night I had the privilege of watching Spencer Waldner’s *Daddy Issues* — and I left genuinely moved. As writer, director, and performer, Spencer carries the full weight of this story, and he does so with remarkable grace. The dialogue is sharp and thought-provoking, the kind that lingers long after the lights go down. What struck me most is the sheer bravery it takes to put something this personal on a stage. Spencer isn't just performing — he's inviting you into his own explor... full review

"Ball Boy" is Ben Fisher's love letter to baseball. This show is loaded with stand-up stories of growing up on the East Coast and existing somewhere between the Yankees and the Red Sox with an Umpire father and dreams of breaking free from the social norms of the straight game. Growing up gay in a family where everyone played sports not only hit close to home for me, but Ben Fisher's experiences and stories hit the ball out of the park altogether. Fisher who admits to looking a great deal like Ji... full review

Great show. Watching Kylie Vincent perform (and witnessing its arduousness) had me thinking only of both Lily Tomlin and of Richard Pryor and how, like both of them, Kylie Vincent brings that rarely experienced "gravitas" to her storytelling and her comedy. It's not just about her comedic riffing and inventiveness and timing, which is crazy marvelous, but it's also about this uncanny way she brings the audience (like Tomlin and Pryor could) face to face with things that often get glanced away fro... full review

Something Spooky is hilarious, hair raising & unexpectedly full of heart - and it made my own heart jump right out of my chest. I saw a few shows at Fringe this year & this was my favorite by far! ... full review

Solid performances and great use of sound and tech! A well executed production. I appreciated the ideas and themes the script was exploring.... full review

Hilarious! You can tell Kylie is really in her element on stage... full review

This was a fun behind-the-scenes romp through the idiosyncrasies of two journeymen actors. Using the paradigm of a prosaic buddies/cop show to explore the underlying vicissitudes of their existence. Mostly light-hearted dark comedy with some touching moments and insightful glimpses into their separate generational worlds.... full review

"Anxiety: The Musical!" is Jasmine Elist's autobiographical musical work, relating stories of fear, isolation, and self-deprecation through jubilant and entertaining sketches and songs. High praise for Elist from the start, as she admittedly wrote and performed this show because it made her face her performance fears head-on. With music by Adam Elder, Jasmine is to be further commended for penning the lyrics, for which she has a great gift. Zeroing in on one of the biggest trends in this year's f... full review

The show does a fantastic job exploring the turbulent world of a woman stuck in a Tarantino film. It jumps between various characters from his films, all played brilliantly by Lani Harms. Part of what makes the show so fun is how it feels like an affectionate portrayal of Tarantino's characters, while also acknowledging some of their absurdities. ... full review

"Adult Baby-Doll" is Harper-Rose Drummond's tell-all stand-up life journey. This show is a blast! Full of electric energy, "Baby-Doll" is bawdy, hilarious and heart-felt, with some incredible songs, perfectly suited for Drummond's powerful voice. Add Greg Hoffman on the piano, and you have a winning combo - this duo has a chemistry that is undeniable! Both musical and moving, this is a riveting and finely crafted evening of honest, sincere and sexy storytelling! Don't miss it!... full review
