A delectable blend of raunchy comedy, educational teachings and riotous fourth-wall breaking material, Napoleon's Wh*re Sister is a show to remember.

Giraffes Can Kill

ashley karp · June 13, 2025 certified reviewer
One word to describe Giraffes Can Kill: WOW. Lisa Gopman delivers a sincere and profound tribute to her late father in a honest and touching display filled with heart, grief, and honor in this soul bearing piece. I laughed my butt off, I cried my eyes out, and I left the theatre wanting gefilte fish, which rarely ever happens. A remarkable eulogy.... full review

QFWFQ

With a razor sharp wit and thought provoking material, Greg Nussen delivers an exceptional powerhouse performance in QFWFQ. The best quality to QFWFQ is you don't know where the story is going next, and the audience is consistently on their toes waiting for the next step. Greg stays on the pulse consistently, never waivering emotion and instead glides through each moment with effervescence and humor throughout the piece. Enjoyable to watch and a must-see this Fringe season.... full review

Trunk

ashley karp · June 11, 2025 certified reviewer
Trunk is an incredibly twisted tale of deep rooted family matters, where each layer peeled back exposes more of how deep the secrets are woven in between two sisters, and I truly adored every second of it. This is a must-see show this Fringe season! From the intricate writing by Jim Hanna to the exponential casting of Lucie Beeby and Kate Hellen as the two at-odds siblings, every piece of this production fit, and it was glorious to watch. ... full review

A Haunting Revue

A Haunting Revue is a wicked cool concept, where Twilight Zone meets reality. Three different uniquely intricate stories, all original to themselves, with memorable characters throughout left the audience wanting more from each tale, which is fantastic, as each 30 minute show could be their own plays if they wanted to create those in the future! ... full review
