Madi Hart and Avery Girion somehow manage to break apart the "breaking apart a solo show" structure of a Fringe show, using the very notion of staging a solo show to dive into Madi's dynamic with her father, an absurd character no comedian could make up if they tried, creating a delightfully relentless, deeply moving show that reveals itself as one of the more entertaining-yet-bracing examinations of what we reject from our parents and what those rejections can show us about ourselves.... full review

This was a funny show, written and performed by an experienced performer. Cara's mix of relatability, vulnerability, sense of humor, and bluntness left me wanting more. You come for the shock value, but it leaves your reflecting on your experiences, your transgressions, and how were not so different.... full review

Albie has indeed led an extraordinarily adventurous life. I loved learning about The Mums, of which I knew absolutely nothing. I also loved learning of how David Bowie so deeply inspired him to dream and to trust in his artistic creations.... full review

This show greatly moved me. It was wonderful to see a queer person with more life experience than I recall his entire coming out story. I felt honored to be let into this story in such a beautiful way. David is a gifted story teller and I hope everyone sees this show! ... full review

Meg’s compelling vignettes are like a series of Alice and wonderland rabbit holes that play with tropes of the heart and the heartland in such a fun way, exaggerating it, subtly critiquing it, and ultimately melting it into silly goo... full review
