Literally one of the funniest shows I've ever seen at Fringe and I've been telling everyone about it. This hilarious show is what I like to call "corporate clowning". Adam is HILARIOUS! If you are looking for a Jake Johnson-type comedy on a budget, Adam Schwartz is your man! This show is the comedic delivery of Jake Johnson meets Andy Sandberg zingers meets the WILD third act twist of a classic Will Ferrell movie. ... full review

Nilsa takes us on a journey of radical acceptance: overcoming hardship in a way that is both heartfelt and deeply funny. She takes us on a wild ride of embracing the new challenges of her Moyamoya diagnosis--professionally, romantically, and artistically. I learned a lot about moyamoya and I'm really glad I saw this show! It was great would recommend and would love to know if it has any future plans. ... full review

Exceptionally written!! I laughed. I cried. And the audience was 100% along for the ride. Destiny is a phenomenal talent. ... full review

Heartbreaking. Heartwarming. Brutally honest. Full of hope. Jeremy Moody opens himself up: exposing the most vulnerable parts of himself as he invites the audience to sit in stillness while Parkinson's shakes up his life. Jeremy takes us through his Parkinson's diagnosis, the whirlwind of dating while having chronic illness, and the unconditional love and heartbreak of becoming an uncle. This show is why we make theatre. This show is why we tell stories. To learn and understand new aspects of the... full review

Thought provoking and illuminating. This play depicts a multifaceted American story about surviving U.S. sanctioned racial discrimination, confronting past trauma, finding coalition, and raising one's voice to speak up against injustice. As a Japanese American woman myself I am constantly looking for artists who are willing to tell Internment stories. It is a part of history that is so rarely told and Paper Flowers is not just any Internment story. It digs so much deeper. It succeeds in doing wha... full review

Deeply personal. Thought provoking. Full of Heart. Vivi chronicles her family’s escape during the fall of Saigon and the power of community and kindness that saved not only her family’s lives, but the lives of thousands of others. ... full review

I highly recommend. I think it’s a must watch. It’s a great balance of funny and mournful. Wonderful twists and turns. A great family drama intermingled with profound questions of fate. ... full review

This is a must watch for Hollywood Fringe! On the surface it's about getting an abortion, but really it's a celebration. It's a celebration of friendship. Of family. Of independence. Of being young and reckless. Of Black joy! It's also heartwarming. Underneath the layers and layers of humor, it takes the time to address serious issues that young women face. It explores gender, sexuality, reproductive access, medical care, consent, and more. Jairis and Mareshah express what it means to be deeply c... full review

MASTERFUL! Johnny Yoder's command of the stage and the audience had me on the edge of my seat. Yoder and Keith have crafted a show that indulges in the nihilistic and cynical point of the writer, while rooting their piece in something much deeper. Sensitive. Loving. Vulnerable. Painful. The louder the character invited the audience to go fuck themselves, the more vulnerable Yoder's Thom Pain became. We want love. We want to be seen. We want validation and recognition. But what do we do when we d... full review

Heartwarming and touching. 0 to 25 explores love and loss and acceptance. When all you want to do is love, it's heartbreaking to see someone struggle to find someone to accept them for who they are. ... full review
