Party of 2

l shimin · June 18, 2026 uncertified reviewer
“Party of Two” is a lively, character-driven sketch comedy show with a clear sense of personality and momentum. What stood out most to me was how quickly the performers could turn small, everyday situations into full comic worlds. The show often felt like a series of snapshots of friendship, awkwardness, confidence, and female fun being brought into motion, which made me think of the creative idea behind <a href="https://phototovideoai.co/">photo to video AI</a>: taking a still moment and giving ... full review

THE SHOW HAS BEEN CANCELLED (DUE TO THE END OF THE WORLD)

pam noles · June 18, 2026 certified reviewer
This is a bravely glorious In These Times extrapolation and excoriation of what we as a society and planet are facing in the future in part due to unbridled capitalism. This is a *very* layered show - sledgehammer in one hand, gentle empathy in the other.... full review

Mod's Medical Miracles

lace stonestreet · June 18, 2026 certified reviewer
With a unique use of storytelling and a clever script, this show mixes puppetry and shadow puppetry, with strong characterizations in an immersive experience! The costumes and set are so fun and you can tell they put a lot of focus and attention into the props and details. I enjoyed the performance and synergy between the three characters and more than that, I could see a clear statement in this piece. Thoughts? THESE WOMEN ARE HYSTERICAL!!! ... full review

Hot Yoga

scarlett bress · June 18, 2026 certified reviewer
This is the kind of show that makes me love theatre, and fringe specifically! Ruby’s performance was hilarious as much as it was painstakingly vulnerable and so personally relatable that sometimes I felt like I was slapped in the face by my younger self. This is a show that Phoebe Waller Bridge herself would stand up and applaud and choose to make the new fleabag. Wonderful work!... full review

Waiting for [Gal] Gadot by Jake Thomas

dave jesteadt · June 18, 2026 certified reviewer
What a show! It was polished, with cutting, loaded and original writing, and anchored by fantastic performances across the entire small cast, with two leads (Jake and Michael) really holding it down. I also learned how to pronounce Gal Gadot’s name and that’s a plus. I hate the state of the industry and I hate the seeping of AI into every aspect of creativity and life. That said, it’s tempting and easy to score lazy points and end up just as rehashed as some Gen AI junk, and I was moved that the ... full review

THE LINCOLN DEBATE

paul porter · June 18, 2026 uncertified reviewer
I really enjoyed this show! I wanted to encourage anyone interested in a fast paced and humorous exploration of the “was he or was he not” topic to catch this one. The cast is great. The production is solid. The audience is presented the known facts and history with letters as evidence so they can come to their own conclusions. Fun!... full review

Punish Me

olga konstantulakis · June 18, 2026 certified reviewer
I really enjoyed PUNISH ME. It was riveting - played out like a psychological thriller where I felt myself leaning into it wanting to know more and more. Great cast and direction is on point. What I loved the most was Michael's character and his relationship to the audience when he breaks the 4th wall and talks to us as the character - wonderfully funny and intimate. I can see this play finding it's full breath and colors on screen.... full review

You're Not My Dad

vicki kirschenbaum · June 18, 2026 certified reviewer
I was very moved by this story of parents behaving badly. I could relate to it, and to the ways family members manipulate memories, intentionally or not. I was inspired by the narrator facing up to the abusive stepdad and finally walking away from the abuse.... full review

NILBOG! the Troll 2 musical

lisa k. wyatt · June 18, 2026 certified reviewer
A delightful helping of "what the heck just happened?" (edited to meet Fringe profanity standards, but you know what I mean). Enjoyed every minute of this wild ride of a musical dedicated to a gleefully awful B-movie (that you don't have to have seen to thoroughly enjoy this tribute/skewering.) From the first interaction in line, the sheer joy of everyone involved comes shining through. Go. You'll have a great time... unless you don't like fun.... full review

Bebé Bebé

olga konstantulakis · June 18, 2026 certified reviewer
This show is one of my favorites that I've seen at fringe. Veronica fearlessly invites us into the world of postpartum and she does not hold back!! She is my HERO. Her show is beautifully raw, truthful and hysterically funny about a phase of motherhood that is not often enough depicted or talked about. ... full review
