Kelly is known to light up any room she enters but after seeing this show, my respect for her has deepened. To emerge from such a dark, abusive past and move forward in light, joy and love takes work. What Kelly endured at the hands of a militant father is heartbreaking, but she is not broken. She is liberated, and I am happy for her. Kelly's vivacious delivery gives levity to the scenes of abuse and manipulation as she bounces around the stage. She is fun to watch and I was rooting for her throu... full review

This is easily one of the best solo shows I've seen in recent years. Gretchen is a masterful storyteller, and the story itself is fascinating, creepy, funny and informative! I left with a deeper understanding of biblical history.... full review

For those who have not seen this show in past years, this is a great time to go. The story is tighter, the media is sharper, and Pam is as electrifying as ever! Pam is unique in that she looks at motherhood unflinchingly. She does not glamorize it at all. Her candidness is part of the appeal. This show is raw, funny, touching and shocking.... full review

Knowing Tanya has honed her classic Mrs Claus character for years, I knew this "bust out," titillating version wouldn't disappoint. Her precise timing, delivery and spicey wordplay made for a fun, assertive and naughty Mrs "Claws." Bad Santa has found his match!... full review

Marcus has always been very charismatic but his serious brain injury made me wonder, like many, if his recovery would be strong enough to pull off an engaging solo show like I've seen in years past. The answer is a resounding YES! His recovery story was so moving, and I could tell he workshopped and spent time refining the script because the show was pretty tight. For me, instant standing ovation! Well done, Marcus, and I'm so happy you're alive and well! ... full review

Fisher strikes Fringe gold once again! This fun, twisted, absurd dramedy got me all hopped up. The only thing missing was audience participation. Just GO!... full review

There is a discipline and precision in Soo's theatre pieces that makes her shows so wonderful to watch. That being said, this powerful play forces me to look in the mirror and ask which character would represent me in the face of looming tyranny? Would I yield in fear or be defiant (or just sit in front of the TV with a bag of popcorn?) Can I live with myself as a neutral or yielding observer while others are marching, organizing and clenching their fists in resistance? Can I forgive myself for m... full review

What started out as a manic display of one actor plowing through numerous roles at breakneck speed turned into something far more personal, with the Titanic story symbolizing and illuminating deeper issues.... full review

What a sweet, endearing hour of refreshingly platonic chemistry! Matt Morillo has struck gold with this beautifully written piece, with some charming performances by Jenni and Newton. ... full review

I liked how my session had a nice balance of absurdly funny protocol with adequate time to vent! I laughed, got a lot off my chest and even learned a few things from the supervisor's insight. Without giving away too much, I think everyone will feel a helluva lot better afterwards, as I did. This is much cheaper than therapy, and far more entertaining!... full review
