Brian Knudson

Local actor/producer/director/writer.

Fringe veteran: 2016, 2017, 2019 shows.

Independent Encore judge—2018, 2022, 2023, 2024.

This marks Brian’s 8th year of participating in HFF. He’s acted, produced, directed, written and reviewed for shows since 2016. His directorial effort of a play about the naturist lifestyle, “Disrobed: Why So Clothes-minded?” was nominated for Best Immersive show in 2019, a collaborative effort with writer/Fringe-a-holic Steven Vlasak. Brian loves the wild imaginations, the open-mindedness, the satirical slants and the fascinating stories of this special community, which serves as an important part of his therapy. He sees this “festival of freaks” as a refreshing oasis of expression, away from (and reflection of?)  the epic assholery that seems to be consuming our society. Fringe ON!
