CLUB CLOWN

This was one of the funniest shows I've seen this year! I always go to a Will McFadden show and I'm never disappointed. This show cracked me up from the start! This show is fun and with some of the audience participation--makes it even more fun! The Clown cast is great! GO SEE THIS SHOW!... full review

Charmin The Musical

frank forte · June 24, 2025 uncertified reviewer
This was a funny, quirky and engaging musical that pokes fun at what we all went through during Covid. I liked the characters and the interaction between them. John Coppola is masterful at directing the actors and the choreography. Judy Domroy (as Shiela) and Travis Joe Dixon (as Henry) do an amazing job portraying a couple couped up in an apartment during the fun-time we now call Covid. Good to see some comic relief of that period.... full review

David Arkenstone's MONA LISA MISSING! THE MUSICAL!

frank forte · June 24, 2025 uncertified reviewer
This is a VERY high quality musical that I feel is ready for Broadway or Off-Broadway! It's great to see something at such a high production value at Fringe--many people think Frings has low-budget or minimal type shows. MONA LISA MISSING is not this! A great story, great casting, full live band--great songs--and a great love story! ... full review

Woody Fu did a great job with WOODY FU: ONE-MAN JOHN WICK. This was a fun comedic romp through John Wick in an alternate Universe. Very fun and could be a different show each time with some funny crowd interaction.... full review

What the Chuck?!

Will Thomas Mcfadden does an incredible job with this production, I want to spread the gospel and tell as many people as I can about this show. I was immediately taken by the opening number--as the D.R.A.M.A. agents state their task of censoring the plays of American Playwright CHARLES L. MEE. The dialogue, acting, direction and choeography kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. Not only was the pkay suspensful, but I was laughing and gigling until the end. This play not only pokes fun a... full review

Rock Bottom

frank forte · June 30, 2024 uncertified reviewer
Charlie Day does an amazing job at reinterpreting Shakspeare's clown character Nick Bottom. Funny, fresh, interesting and introspective, Charlie takes us on a ride filled with comedy, jokes, rhymes, storytelling and even some dance. What starts out as a play to be pout on by Bottom and his colleagues, soon turns as Bottom is left to go it alone! And he does great! He improvs, works with the audience, tells us tales of the great "Willie S" and we are along for the journey! Soon the tale gets serio... full review

I Won't Tell

Miranda and Grace and great in this tale of two young women becoming friends--but dark secrets lie beneath. Great direction by Daniel Rosales. I caught it on the last day--so too bad there are no more shows- Recommended if it gets extended. Best of Asylum Judge... full review

New Kids on the Blockchain

frank forte · June 21, 2024 certified reviewer
Viviane Ford is funny and witty as she weaves a tale of hanging out at the Crypto castle (A real place in SF) --as she was a roomate with a group of Crypto-Bros trying to make Cryptocurrency in the early stages of Bitcoin and ETH. Wild stuff--this show was as crazy as it was informative! Even if you know nothing of Crypto-- you'll come out with more knowledge--and more questions! Best of Asylum Judge... full review
