Beautiful show. Very important discussion of how trauma gets passed on in family, and how throwing up your hands at a bad situation can actually lead to a lot of repressed anger and sadness.... full review

Great show. Interesting plot line but despite being a bit abstract.... full review

Sophie is a true freak and I love her brain! Part spectacle, part clown show, part inspirational talking vagina - Cvnt is a dark pink joy to watch! I was excited to see where she would take us next on the journey exploring cvnts (and all they have to offer) and every time I was surprised. ... full review

It takes an incredibly skilled performer to get you to laugh about grief, and Dara does exactly that. In the very first minute, you're pulled into the love that Dara's family has for each other and taken on a journey into how that love presents itself when faced with darkness. I was so honored to be along for this ride. It was healing, funny, sad, and uplifting all at once. A must-see!... full review

Oftentimes at Fringe I see musicals written by folks who don't really know how to do it. This is NOT one of those shows. Jimi Darkness is the textbook definition of a rock musical in the best way, adapting Byous' concept album for the stage with tunes that won't leave your head for days. You'll rock your ass off and cry your eyes out. The cast will melt your face off and you'll be left wanting more!... full review

Dara Kosberg’s Homecoming is an incredibly emotional, passionate, hilarious, and nostalgic piece of theater. Dara takes the audience on a journey through grief that is just the right combination of heartwarming and laugh-out-loud funny. Her/her character is brilliantly vulnerable with her flaws and insights all fully exposed. Her character is in no way perfect, but she plays ever beat perfectly. A definite highlight of Hollywood Fringe. Go see it now! ... full review

Big With a B was exactly what was needed. Brianna captures a life that is both incredibly special and uniquely personal, yet so deeply relatable. As a big girl, this meant everything to me. There’s nothing like watching a body that’s been told ‘no’ say ‘yes’! The show touches on so many emotional moments in a young girl’s life and reminds the audience to show up for themselves and the different bodies that surround them. The heart behind it is truly palpable.... full review

Had me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. Deshawn and Jamonté go all-in on spontaneity and the result is exhilarating. I never knew what was going to happen next, and gasped more times than I can count. The performers are perfectly matched. Their chemistry is undeniable and together, they navigate the chaos with generosity and great comic timing. Beneath the absurdity are two portraits of identity and the experience of being gay in the military. Those personal stories ground the ... full review

An incredibly moving and daring piece of theatre. AND FUNNY! Just everything you want at a night at the theatre!... full review

Excellent show! ... full review

Having seen act one of this piece two years ago, I was interested to see where Petriello's script would take us this time around, and it did not disappoint! I loved these goofy characters and following where the story took them. Really sharp, hilarious, oodles of fun, and surprisingly emotional by the end. I would Vote for Tom Ryan over and over again if I could!... full review

Doofus was a wild, silly time in the best of ways. Cole has a sense of joy in how they approach every beat of this show, and it was genuine joy the entire time.... full review

A delicious romp through a classical story with play and skill. I really clever and exhilarating experience, with such a playful take on the show. More please! ... full review

Delightfully silly Baroque era farce!... full review

With all of the misinformation from "sources" like Fox "news" and Prager "U" it is equally freeing and disturbing to hear the actual words of Douglass, X, & King spoken by their characters. I was tremendously moved and by the end I was also crushed when I realized which MLK Speech I was hearing.... full review

Tamra is one of my favorite comedians, so I went into this expecting to see skilled character work about the riders of LA public transportation. And that was part of it, but this show is so much bigger than that. It's not hyperbole to say I was entranced. It's a fascinating blend of comedy, history, and dance, an homage to the people of Los Angeles and how they make their way in the city. One of the best shows I've seen this year!... full review

The piece is a love letter to the ghosts passed down over generations that haunt us all, where It seems the only way to escape them…is by inviting them in. Such is the discovery Waldner is offering to audiences with each of his carefully chosen words, and budding revelations. ... full review

Fun show. Great magician. Cool and original theme focusing on those-who-hate-magic. ... full review

A great concept but not nearly developed with the necessary skill and direction.... full review

Powerful and extremely funny story of grief and resilience with a dash of the afterlife and some dancing!... full review
