A hilarious and brutally honest look at the mistreatment of actors on microdrama sets! Even if you are lucky enough not to know anything about the racism, misogyny, and abusive world of vertical dramas, this show is still a must-see! ...

Lani is a great performer - I loved all of the choices she made to bring each character to life. Her comedy was on point, and she kept nailing it scene after scene. I don't know Tarantino very well, and I was completely sucked in to Lani's characters and laughing the whole time. ...

I'm struggling to find the words to describe how delightful and delirious this show is. "Brave" and "fearless" both feel too typical of praise for a performance that is anything but typical. I highly recommend BEBÉ BEBÉ to anyone who has ever been a baby....

WAITING for GAL GADOT written by and starring Jake Thomas and Michael Sinterniklaas, directed by Stephanie Sheh. While AI weaves its way through our personal and professional lives, this Hollywood Fringe play pits creative humans against their anticeptic rivals. The speed of AI can’t be surpassed, but the precision with which “Waiting for (Gal) Gadot” has written, rehearsed, prepped and shuttled their audiences in to watch their hilarious performances, take their bows and get the audience out in ...

Essentially every story has been told before, the challenge is to raise the stakes and have it be a reflection up to life. Now take the themes of Care, Relationships and "Truth"... expose and manipulate them at their core with 2 climax's and places it in our most up to date medium of media, a podcast.
You get playback comfortably uncomfortable reality of the world we no longer live in but are in constant service to. ...

Fast, energetic, bit-a-minute play that evokes the style of the Chicago ➡️ Brooklyn Annoyance scene (compliment, for the 99% of you who have no idea what I'm talking about). Kate stars in an all-female furious response to the injustices of the LA housing crisis with absurdity and interactive improv that is dense with goofs and references....

This show is a must-see for anyone who may have ever felt unloved, whether it be by society, someone you were in a relationship with, or your own body. I think any audience member, regardless of gender, will understand the experiences that Russ lays out for you, and if you're a queer person of color, the show digs even deeper. The ending was surprising. While I was laughing my ass off the entire time, nodding in agreement to everything that Russ said, I cried and wanted to hug myself and everyone...

Please Don’t Cry is an absolute must-see at this year’s Fringe! It delivers hilarious jokes and tugs at the heartstrings as Dione explores some of the darkest times in her life. The three big loses she experiences would debilitate anyone, and Dione takes us through her journey with the love, loss, and hopefulness needed to see through to the other side of it.
This show definitely serves as a vital reminder that life is precious ,and to laugh amidst the tears. Bravo, Dione! ...
