What an imaginative and deeply moving piece of theater. The best way I can describe it is as "live theater animation". Banana Man Live is a production that feels as though a cartoon has come to life on stage through creativity, movement, and sheer theatrical ingenuity. If you allow yourself to step into Ari Fromm's (and Natalie Dressel's) imaginative world, you'll be richly rewarded. The story follows a banana on a journey of self-discovery. Beneath its playful premise lies a thoughtful and surpr... full review

This production is an adaptation of Harold Pinter's The Dumb Waiter, relocated to 1970s New York. I am a fan of Harold Pinter's work and I appreciated the opportunity to see this classic brought to life on stage. The play's tension, ambiguity, and dark humor remain intact. The performances are solid, and that feels to be the main focus of the production. Two actors produced this project and that is respectable, I am loving the emergence of classical works at the Hollywood Fringe Festival. For tho... full review

Very funny, engaging, heart-felt and creative. A double master-class in clown and mime (not necessarily in that order).... full review

A musical parody of campy theater about a movie that is a revival of a cult classic, one of the most fun experiences in all of Fringe! If you're looking for smart, strange, high-energy comedy and a night of pure entertainment, this is a must-see. It's a celebration of over-the-top theatricality that embraces its ridiculousness with infectious enthusiasm. Award-winning Cherry Poppins Theater Company does it again, with another smash hit at the Hollywood Fringe Festival. Expect to be entertained a... full review

I had seen Adam Smith's previous work, so I came in expecting to be entertained and he did not disappoint. Party Boy follows a man seemingly searching for connection amid the chaos of his own party, at least as I interpreted it. The show is an immersive experience driven by a character whose awkward, unpredictable energy evokes the spirit of Andy Kaufman and Zach Galifianakis. Much of the humor comes from watching him navigate his own discomfort, creating moments that are both cringeworthy and hi... full review

A wonderful metaphor for transness equally enjoyable for trans folks, their allies, and hopefully even any transphobes who somehow wander into this show. ... full review

Chaotic at first but came together! Felt kind of dadaesque as a style but also felt like a 1 man show defying both tropes in such a manner... full review

Loved Banana Man Live!... full review

The show description uses the word precise and I don't think I could come up with a better word. These two performers are experts in comedic timing. I was laughing out loud throughout, and even moved by some of the underlying vulnerability in both of these characters. ... full review

Metalhead is a brilliant, high-energy musical that cleverly explores the theme of human-machine conflict. The premise of defeating giant robot threats with 'little more than a touch' is highly engaging and reminds me of tactile interactive incremental games.... full review

This show feels like you’re at recess with a little kid except the kid owns property and had a bike made of cardboard ... full review

Hysterical! Well crafted clown show that takes great advantage of his own physicality for raucous physical comedy. An additional note of sentimentality drawing on Texan roots was very effective.... full review

My overall impressions? I'm impressed! The show is so fun and funny and silly. With just the right amount of fuck you to the patriarchy.... full review
