The magic of the show isn't the card tricks or the slight of hand, it is the entire world Daniel Llewelyn-Williams creates before your very eyes.... full review

The 7th Annual One-Man Show World Championships

damien luvara · June 27, 2015 certified reviewer
Jim Hanna has created an outrageously hilarious send up of one man shows. The premice of the "battle of the bands meets middle school forensics" style show where one solo artist emerges victorious is enough to make me laugh. Thankfully, Hanna doesn't stop at premise. Intead he has written four complete one man shows for four solo artist archetypes. Each performer is spot on when delievering their "piece of art". The one theme that ties all of the acts together is brilliance. Brilliantly writ... full review

The Desperate Yogi

damien luvara · June 25, 2015 uncertified reviewer
As a fan of Vincent's work last year I was excited to see what he and his team had to offer this year. Expected more campy high jinks with ample amounts of heart i settled in to be entertained by this new production. I couldn't have been more blown away. He kept all the heart left behind the camp and delivered an inspired heart felt piece full of whimsy and spirit. For a moment it felt as though you were actually in India with these characters as they discovered the many parts of their loves, ... full review

The Knock Shop

damien luvara · June 22, 2015 uncertified reviewer
This show is what every burlesque show should aim for. It's playful, funny and entertaining. The difference between Knock Shop and other burlesque shows I've seen is that these ladies can dance! I mean really dance! Oh and they are HOT! The live music is phenomanal. The smoky jazz will at time compete for your attention as the ladies dance onstage. And that is just fine. There's so much going on but it all happens in perfect balance. Poppa is hilarious. The casual smut peddling MC works t... full review

Shakespeare's Last Night Out (or What? YOU, Will??)

damien luvara · June 22, 2015 certified reviewer
Well. This show is incredible. You will laugh, you will cry and you will learn! I am still reeling at the dizzying display of knowledge and craftsmanship that went into the script alone, not to mention the actor who performs it. Michael Shaw Fisher absolutely embodies The Bard and you will forget you aren't really watching Shakespeare himself. MSF transforms himself before your eyes as he tells the captivating story of William Shakespeare's life in an incredibly imaginative way. The music w... full review

Thumb Wars

damien luvara · June 16, 2015 certified reviewer
Sean and his team have done it again! Thumb wars back and it is better than ever! The script is tigher, smarter and hilarious. The subtle changes made to the script streamlined the dialogue and kept the show current. I mean it is a whole year later after all. The new cast is lightening fast and keeps the pace going full steam ahead. They successfully manage to avoid the worst set up to a punchline...the pregnant pause. Instead, they choose to use the words and let the clever script do the f... full review
