Oh, Lorraine!

jeff scot carey · June 25, 2023 certified reviewer
An epic cluster of a first date gone nuclear, hitting all the right chaotic notes along the way, with a spot-on perfect cast and wonderful directing. Oh Lorraine is one of the funniest shows I've ever seen at Fringe. I realized afterward that this play is really my kind of show, the type of comedic writing that I love, so thanks to Peter Fluet for reminding me of that, and giving us a brilliantly shining diamond with this show. ... full review

WHO’S AFRAID OF DAVID LYNCH?

jeff scot carey · June 18, 2022 certified reviewer
Extraordinary storytelling at its most alluring. I am already on the record that Michael Shaw Fisher is one of my favorite writers, full stop, and once again he dazzles Hollywood Fringe audiences as writer/director. The cast is wonderful as they expertly usher us along this whimsical tale, that has no top or bottom, or sides. I loved David Haverty, Leigh Wulff, and Fisher himself, who by now are all old stand-bys in Shaw Fisher works. I'd never seen Misha Reeves or Juan Lozano before but they fit... full review

Welcome to the Neighborhood

jeff scot carey · August 18, 2021 certified reviewer
I loved this show! A true testament to Kristen Boule, Tiffany Asta, and Scott Golden's collective and irresistible adventurous spirit, Welcome to the Neighborhood is a non-stop blast. As you make your way around the BBQ, you are introduced to the characters, (all of whom are absolutely pitch-perfect) and then hilarity and intrigue begin to effortlessly unfold from all sides around you. (As with every immersive Kristen Boule joint,) I had no idea what to expect when we showed up at a slightly ou... full review

ASSMONKEY

Very fun and informative show with an important message. Sophia Del Pizzo brilliantly takes the audience along on a journey through her struggles with anxiety, and teaches us quite a bit about the subject in the process, which I realized, I should actually know a lot more about!... full review

blackboxing

jeff scot carey · June 18, 2019 certified reviewer
Extremely funny and effective take on the much maligned "one-person-show" concept. Matt Richey crushes it from every angle, and Jim Niedzialkowski is perfect as the Stage manager in the middle of a nightmare Tech. It is a hilarious and heart-felt piece, that exposes the egomaniacal nature and naiveté of many LA Actor-types, while also fortifying the need for, and perhaps the worth of, such ambitious/pretentious pieces. Somehow Matt Richey's script is simultaneously in on the joke while creatin... full review
