a gorgeous, emotional, thought-provoking study in contradictions. It’s both meandering and precise; charmingly silly and deadly serious; so sharp and so vulnerable. QFWFQ is humane, clear-sighted and delightfully constructed. And so funny! A must see.... full review

I can guarantee that you won't see anything else like this at the Fringe this year. This is the English language premiere of an absurdist dramedy by the playwright Kohei Tsuka, revered in his native Japan but little known in the US. At first glance, it's not difficult to see why this is the case; the play leans heavily into elements of the avant-garde, introducing characters and situations without context and often veering off into vaudevillian bits, asides, and karaoke numbers (!!) just as it se... full review

Wow, can Hike teach me all things? I could listen all day. I was not expecting to be challenged as much as I was warmed and tickled. He takes his personal experiences and though vastly different than mine, I could somehow relate. Partially because of would have totally stood up at the free dance concert. Partially because Hike is soooo thoughtful and thought provoking without being outrageously provocative. ... full review

Super fun and interactive show. Very clever and well thought out. The cast is great!! We went in somewhat of a big group, so it was really fun to watch some people in our group go on stage for interactions. This show was nothing like I would have expected it to be like. I am in no way a Shakespeare fan, but this show was really still very entertaining. References Shakespeare, but you don't need to know anything about the stories to enjoy this show. ... full review

Sharp, polished, hilarious. And surprisingly moving in a really great way! Dale takes you on a ride and because he approaches things with openness and kindness, he can expertly walk that line of 'taboo' topics. Which are the exact sort of well crafted jokes that fill me with a naughty glee -- which is the best kind of glee! ... full review

Part TED Talk, part history lesson, and part stream-of-consciousness introspection, Haig “Hike” Chahinian's solo show is a quiet, reflective journey. The youngest of three children to Armenian parents, Haig realizes that inherited trauma shapes him in unsuspecting and unsettling ways. Realizing that he is a homosexual who aches for partnership and children, his show highlights the adoption and challenges of raising of his bi-racial daughter. Some of the self-discoveries he shares include a man... full review

I love a documentary and I love comedy so this was just a freaking TREAT for me! Daniel seems unassuming, but he's sharp and silly, focused and hilarious. I think he's on the right track in his little corner - the universe certainly seems to rise up and meet him at every step! Kind of Ted Talks, stand up, sex edutainment or Sex Talk. Love to see fellow late bloomers THRIVING! Well done! ... full review

I knew it was a comedy, but it was even funnier than I had anticipated which I'd say is kudos to the powerful acting of all three women – their timing, commitment, and seriousness with which they take their characters made it all the more hilarious but simultaneously heartbreaking! ... full review

Hilarious sketch comedy brimming with creativity! Party of 2 is a brilliant duo not to be missed.... full review

Absolutely terrific! Super acting and writing with a fresh take on the familiar. It was anything but wrote - it's crackling, engaging, surprising and beautifully dark! Have to say, I wouldn't mind a part 2...... full review

A solo show full of characters on a flight that doesn't seem to be going so well! I love the idea of containing the whole show into one flight and what a great job Aidan does moving through all of them! ... full review

The task of bringing someone else into the inner workings of your mind is difficult enough. Painting an honest picture of your lowest moments is even harder. Darkly funny and deeply vulnerable, Beth Wants the D succeeds at both.... full review

I didn't expect a story this heavy to feel so light. Thanks to Rejyna's delicate touch, haunting and spell binding music and media, the weight of the story was never oppressive. Human experience reactions played out against the cold, supporting facts of the transcript was lovely and balanced. The music is gorgeous and Rejyna is captivating. I hope everyone has a chance to see hear this gripping story,... full review

Seeing "Too Much of a Good Thing" was nothing short of an unforgettable journey into the life of an incredibly talented woman who gave us a raw, intimate look into her experiences and perspective. This play is an absolute must-see for anyone interested in exploring a deeper understanding of body image, sexual assault, and what it's like to grow up under the male gaze. The way the show handles these heavy topics is masterful. It's done so thoughtfully and with such care that every moment resona... full review

The show was wonderful and highly recommend! I am not the biggest Shakespeare fan and still had just a wonderful time. Great use of comedy. The story flowed well and I was easily able to understand it.... full review

This is one of my favorites this year at Fringe, so happy I got to see it here. Kami is an incredible performer and JC adds a lot to the show as well. The musical components were some of my favorite and added a lot of dimension. Lots Lots Lots of laughs and sweet moments and emotion. Kami's character and voice work is a real masterful piece of work. I kind of fell in love with Kami Girl, even though it sort of is all her fault... ... full review

Wow! Seriously a hug for the soul! You adore Mary from the jump - Everybody loves Vartoush, but to get to know Mary and her story you will be left wondering HOW can you laugh at circumstances like that? Because Mary is an hilarious writer and performer who tossed fears aside to brave the whole truth. I cannot wait to see what she decides to share next! ... full review

It's such a great play! The script flows naturally, with lots of fun moments. The actors do a great job in their roles, and between them, their chemistry is a thing. The themes covered are universal and accessible, and it's difficult not to empathize with the protagonist's journey accepting and facing her complex feelings towards her dad after his death. So recommendable, can't wait to see more of what this writer has :)... full review
