Almost everyone can relate to falling in love with a band and wishing they would love us back! Slumber Party puts us in the middle of these teenager’s experience as they wish and hope for love from their favorite band member. I completely understood when I saw how far they were willing to go, because I once desperately wished a certain boy band would drop their whole lives for me! This show is pure comedy, with a few shock and awe moments! The actresses did an amazing job bringing these characte... full review

ON THE LINE FOR BEST DRAMA! Finally! A show at Fringe that feels like a practically fully realized, polished, professional production. Would love to see what $$$ would do for a show like this. Could expand it, but it's a pretty perfect 1-act. I left uncomfortable (as intended) and so pleased and relieved that my time wasn't wasted. ... full review

Brendan takes us on a journey downward in an attempt to find a salve for his sinking feeling. A very funny and raw show exploring self-help culture, mental illness, sobriety and complex family dynamics. The premise of the Abyss is so strong I felt completely entrenched in his world from the beginning. Expertly crafted writing & smart jokes. A truly unique and refreshing solo show! ... full review

This play was outstanding on so many levels. The difficult subject matter, the discomfort, the moments of not knowing what to say, the avoidance of what needs to be said, and the glimpse into what it might feel like to have competing voices in your head — all of it was handled with such honesty. The lead actors were exceptional. Go see it now… only a few shows remain.... full review

A must-see. Raw, exploratory, frustrating, funny, profound, honest. ... full review

Olga delivers a compelling performance that keeps you interested from beginning to end. Strongly recommended, especially for parents and anyone considering parenthood.... full review

This is such a fabulous format! Everybody's dating disasters are so different (but almost all involve hope... and then disappointment, except for a rare and shocking happy ending!), and if one disaster isn't relatable to you, it's still funny, you've discovered a new talent, and there's another one in a few minutes. While the storytellers are relaying their tales, Jimmy is sitting in the corner crafting a brand-new song about their hellish date, which he plays immediately when the story is over w... full review

It was a very realistic portrayal of all of the different paths that people are on in an inpatient psychiatric unit. They were at different stages of acceptance of their problem and stages of willingness to take steps to get treatment. It was portrayed in a very realistic, non-fantastical way with a great deal of time explored about the consequences of taking medication weighing the stability it provides you with the side effects how that affects things such as your sex drive, and the stigma asso... full review

Diane is ridiculous, and we had a lot of fun hanging out with her. Silly crowd-work, goofy discoveries, and the coolest costume in Fringe made this a delightful hour!... full review

An incredibly fun, inventive clown show that turns audience interaction into pure comedic magic! Elena is wildly present and playful, creating a joyful, anything-can-happen experience that feels both loose and masterfully controlled.... full review

Grant is such an incredible physical performer. His clown is absurd but also innocent. You'll love the audience interaction and the heart that is underneath all the silly antics. ... full review

DARKLY BEAUTIFU. In Glossolalia's, as we enter the sacred grounds, Jesenski's writing is the master of ceremony. Simply put, it's beautiful, in every sense of the word. It's a must see, and if you missed this run, you need to watch out for the next run and go see it. Perhaps one of the best writings in the festival, if not the best.... full review

A captivating show about trauma, how we respond to it and the importance of trusting our instincts. The show handles triggering subject matter with care (while still examining honestly), finds moments of levity and is paced well. Bravo to all involved!... full review

A brilliant encapsulation of a very dense period of comic book publishing history. The creations and work of Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Joe Simon, Steve Ditko, and Wally Wood persist to this day as games, books, shows, cartoons, and film. The turmoil that surrounded the workplace and lives of these smart and flawed creators is brought to life by a fantastically well-tuned cast and an excellent script. The quick pace and deft direction make excellent use of both cast and space. Excelsior!... full review

I absolutely LOVED TL's show. It was so interesting to learn about her world. She is an expert storyteller. The agility and expressiveness of her instrument were absolutely captivating. I loved being on that journey from beginning to end. Bravo!... full review

Vickie has an incredible and unique story! This show was as deep and vulnerable as it was utterly hilarious!! All the character voices, the amazing archival footage from her time on TV in South Korea, and seeing it so come together seamlessly in this show is a testament to her talents and stardom! This was an excellent first solo show!!!... full review

I'm hot for this landlord and you will be too!!! 5-Hour Energy meets clown-landlord! Cole gives us EVERYTHING!! Committed character work and impressive improvisation from start to finish!... full review

Christine made a great show! I really enjoyed the tension, and the way keeping the relationship with mom going was so haunting. I could feel the sense of over-worked loneliness. She really went there. The use of props and set pieces added so much, and I never knew what was going to happen next. Suspense!... full review

Midge invites us into her spaceship of oddity and music and tells us we can't leave. By the end of the show, I didn't want to. Bean vs the Robots is beautiful postcard to the playfulness of childhood and the processing of grief. Silly at times but also touching and sweet, Midge's performance will stay with me for a while. I hope audiences in Edinburgh appreciate what they are getting. ... full review

It's a hilarious satire of vertical microdramas and the people behind them. Kudos to Dee for shining a light on the low-quality writing, acting, and directing that so many of these productions suffer from.... full review
