Honestly, I had no idea what to expect. Kinda stoked for the dinner. The show was creative and witty and I laughed my ass off. The dinner was as expected - phenomenal!! Thank you for an amazing evening Frank!... full review

So much fun but still made you think.... full review

"The Seven Year Bitch" is a blonde bombshell of a show. With a powerful and sultry belt, (and I mean both of a voice and from her martini, which she miraculously never drops or spills), Shayna Bezozo's performance is an exercise in characterization, controlled physical comedy, and powerhouse vocals and stage presence. This shows proves that "shtick" is only a bad word when you can't pull it off, and Bezozo not only pulls it off, she brings it to its knees. For a cabaret show, the ending of this ... full review

Kudos to Mike Hadge and this hilarious and testosterone-laden musical podcast! With an outstanding all-female cast, "Strong Stoic Straitz" has all the answers to the world's problems, and these bros are here to prove it. Featuring an all-original score by Hadge, this show is bro-centric, bro-tastic and this cast's voices blend and melt like buttah, but wait, bro, don't say that like Barbra Streisand, because that would be Woke.... full review

Mark Vigeant's "Out There" must be experienced. In this immersive, delightful show, a would-be influencer and his camcorder, attempts to tackle the wiles of wild Alaska alone. What could go wrong? Armed with his trusty bow and arrow and fishing line, and brimming with imagination and highly effective Imagery of both props and projections, "Out There" is equal parts hilarious, touching, and imaginative. Vigeant's audience is part of the fun and in for a wild ride! ... full review

Elisha Tan is a funny and capable performer!... full review

You don't need to be a fan of clubs or clowns to fall in love with Club Clown. What an absolute delight. (Hmmm... Should I go back to Club Clown?)... full review

Club Clown, stars the highly infectious Will Thomas McFadden, and you're going to want to be on your feet, especially at the top and at the end of this joyous celebration of silly. McFadden and his company of delightful fringe clown improvers will attempt to dazzle you and make you laugh, and often they succeed. But what's the use of a glow stick if you don't end your time at Club Clown joining the entire audience for a dance party on the stage at show's end? ... full review

"Them's The Shakes" is beautifully rendered, passionately portrayed, and a must-see for anyone who needs a good dose of humanity, and Jeremy is a super-nice person. Go VCU Rams!... full review

As a fellow alien (or someone who feels like one most of the time), this show felt like a warm hug. Did you know hugs are also hoops?! RM is a gifted entertainer, sprinkling 45 minutes of silliness and whimsy with nuggets of soul-level recognition that are so very rare here on Earth. ... full review

Excellent writing. Such a fun and engaging concept to deal with real life trauma. I was hooked to see how everything would unfold. Really fun show! ... full review

A fun jukebox musical with some great 90's songs. ... full review

When a dinosaur that represents your trauma appears, what the hell do you do? Dinosaurs is both an absurd comedy and a haunting look into truly heinous acts. And it's incredible on both counts. A tight script and superb performances make this a wonderful return from their 2024 premiere.... full review

The idea of being haunted by your best friend. It's more complex than it appears, and Goodbye. Hello. is a beautiful analysis of the dichotomy. Dynamic performances, sure-handed direction, and a hilarious and moving script make this a wonderful Fringe entry.... full review

Absolutely phenomenal! Homecoming took me on a rollercoaster of tears and laughter, weaving together vignettes across different times and characters into something both deeply moving and laugh-out-loud funny. It’s remarkably layered, balancing humor and vulnerability while illuminating deep truths about the human experience. This is the kind of show that lingers for days afterward—you find yourself revisiting powerful moments and discovering new connections and resonances each time you think abou... full review

I've been craving increasing levels of absurdism in my life and in the art I engage with for a while, and this scratched that itch like nothing else. MaMa is committed in stage presence and in playing with chance when building the show for an individual viewing. I'm curious what other paths of this show exist that we didn't get to see that night!... full review

A fun, poppy, rock and roll horror comedy with really awesome songs and a strong book. Unfortunately a couple of the performer's abilities were not at the level these songs and material required. ... full review

Have you ever seen a vertical and thought...what is this? The Vertical is a raw exposé on a controversial chapter of filmmaking filled with refreshing humor and fun performances. Dee Vlachos always brings tough questions to the table without shying away, and this is a great example of that.... full review

This play offered a raw look into how mental health and fitting into societal norms shapes our actions and behaviors. I really hope this play continues to get traction and seen by more individuals who may be struggling from mental health. I came into it thinking it was gonna be very political, and I left being more aware of how individuals with bipolar disorders move through their manic and depressive episodes with an uncensored perspective. ... full review

Jackie Skinner is stuck in a David Lynch nightmare theater, and we're in it, too. An incredibly compelling cocktail of clown and and horror. Laugh, scream, gasp, get tickled, feel the chills down your spine...... full review
