Ashley Diaz returns to their roots in "Being the Perfect Woman," a solo journey that is both passionate and very personal. Diaz explores not only their world, but the world of many modern women and the very real fear of standing in your light and declaring your truth in today's America. Paired with a live video feed throughout, Diaz is available, and uncompromisingly present throughout this solo journey.... full review

The title to Derek Heeren's solo show is just flat-out bloody creative. "I Suck - A Vampire Comedy," is equal parts brilliant, charming and funny AF, but one thing's for sure, it does not suck. Like several other shows in the Fringe that take place in the therapist's seat, "I Suck" leaves no blood-soaked gravestone unturned as the mild-mannered, dare I say "beige" Heeren explores his darker, historically hilarious Vampiric world (and underworld) only to find peace at last. And yes, Derek, I do of... full review

"Army Brat" details her life experiences with a strident father who favors corporal punishment over fatherly affection.

In a perfect world, I would love every night to be like "Something Spooky," Jon Schnitzer's latest brilliantly clever and dark work of paranormal comedy. Loaded with good laughs, spooky stories, special effects, and true paranormal video footage, this show is a gift to fans of horror films, the occult and the world of the esoteric. Brilliantly underscored by the music of Alexander Burke. Much like the rest of the audience present last night, I was with Schnitzer all the way, on the edge of my sea... full review

Shahin Sayadi's "Ritual Music to Cure a Lover" is one of the most fascinating performances of this year's festival. Sayadi is quite mesmerizing as he explores in fine detail, an ancient Persian love poem, and brings it full circle into modern day culture, with a pointed light directed at the youth of Iranian society. You're doing yourself an injustice if you don't join Shahin Sayadi on his impeccably staged journey.... full review

You will not stop thinking about Edib Farhan's beautiful and bubbly intergalactic "Syrian Soap" for a long time to come. This hilarious and charming show, which is part clown, stand up and improv, explores ancestry and politics, keeping its darker roots under cover and well-soaked in comedy, not unlike the political satires and absurdist theatre of Post -WWII. One of this Fringe's finest pieces of theatre.... full review

"Emotional Alpha" is a very clever and very funny male-centric solo performance. Andrew Knox stands out on top for his bold and effortlessly over-the-top portrayal of Eleos Richards, a "licensed male emotions specialist." Knox's character may be big and bold, but each time he morphs into song, he will melt your heart (even if you don't want to admit it). This Buzz Lightyear of vulnerability is here to prepare you for hetero & homo-hilarity and to teach a few life lessons along the way. Often sur... full review

A fun, delightful and funny show with heartfelt stories and just the right amount of spooky!... full review

Excellent writing and production. Rivals Broadway. Stephanie Bentley is extremely talented as well as the entire cast and crew.... full review

A show about Death, Depression, and Divorce, and you're asking me to "Please Don't Cry?" How are they going to pull this off? You'll need to check it out for yourself to see. Dione Kuraoka's one-woman show zig-zags through topics that most would find hard to talk about to another person, let alone a room full of strangers; but this is where the charm lives. While some of the settings in the story may not resonate (and yes, they are all real events), the emotions that are tied with them are uni... full review

If you love dogs, this is the show for you! A very sweet and somber show about two dogs in the shelter system from different perspectives, including the dogs'. I learned a lot about the shelter system and the stress that can lead to "bad" dogs. It made me want to volunteer!... full review

Such a funny and unique show. Adam completely embodies this self help guru - he could probably give real seminars and people would eat it up. His energy, quick wit, and visual effects kept me laughing for the entire hour. ... full review

A truly exceptional show! Full of laughter, fun, creativity, heartfelt moments, and overall purely entertaining! I wish there were more shows like this! The creator, Rachel Austin truly has a way of being able to pull the audience in and making them feel a spectrum of emotions all while being entertained and left feeling inspired! ... full review

Body As An Archive is a triumphant piece of circus theater. Junru’s performance is both heart-wrenching, yet ebullient, as she masterfully traverses what could be a chasm between telling a story using the medium of the spectacular body and the content of the story being about navigating that body’s path to spectacular-ness. If you’ve never seen circus outside of the big top atmosphere, do yourself a favor and go see how impactful a medium it can be, especially for dealing with topics like body so... full review

What this woman can do with 5 fingers and a glove. Wow! Jackie is so watchable and the mood she created with this show was epic. ... full review

This play was so fun! It was packed with great humor, clever moments, and a cast that clearly enjoyed every second on stage. The entire cast worked very well together, creating a fun and engaging world. Shout out to the writing and directing as well! ... full review

Diane Diane is an unhinged delight. Elissa is fully committed (and should be committed) and this show leaves you wanting more tender moments with the greatest songstress of our lifetimes, Diane. ... full review

She's done it again! Molly performs with so much aliveness, so much presence, and does this all as if its the easiest thing ever. This show is a blast! ... full review

The writing shows a level of self awareness about the process of being vulnerable that is hard to come by. It felt like a very accurate depiction of the swirls of anxious attachment, but it is the speaker anxiously attached to the audience. Hilariously navigated. ... full review
