What a fun afternoon in the theatre! Top notch ensemble, classic source material, completely unhinged show! This was just fantastic. Both a sendup and an homage to Shakespeare, with a bit of current politics thrown in. And lots of fake blood. And squirt guns. And audience participation. And murder. Did I mention murder? No wonder this took best ensemble in San Diego Fringe. This is about as much fun as you'll have in a theatre! ... full review

This show is everything you want in a solo performance: humor, horror, hope and a terrifically talented storyteller to guide you through it! Kirsten has crafted a really great show with lots of laughs and knock-the-wind-out-of-you moments shared through well crafted narrative structure and a just fantastic performance. ... full review

What a great show. It's typical to approach the topic of addiction through comedy, but Adam's storytelling defies expectations and results in a really great, really relatable story. Through a combination of stand up style comedy, character work, and original songs, Adam shares his story not of the process of recovery, which is a common trap for these kinds of stories, but instead focuses on the aspects of his life that lead him both to addiction and recovery. A really great afternoon of theatre!... full review

This is the best kind of Fringe show, and if there is any justice will be nominated in a ton of categories. I came to the show knowing next to nothing about it, and the performer blew me away. One of the most original, well executed and cerebral pieces I've seen in a long time. We need more art like this. ... full review

Sometimes you want to feel all the feelings. Sometimes you need a good cry, or need to expand your knowledge on a certain subject, or share your voice in protest. And sometimes you just need to laugh until you almost pee yourself. This show is that last one. Thoroughly. ... full review

I knew very little about this show going in, and I am so glad it wasn't spoiled for me. Horsegirl is completely unhinged in the very best ways, with exceptional character work and absolutely hilarious writing. I attended the closing night performance, but if this show pops up again, do yourself a favor and check it out. ... full review

Full disclosure: I've been a fan of Laural (and this show) since the first time I saw it almost a year ago. I am so elated that Laural brought it to the Hollywood Fringe! This is everything I want in a Fringe show: history, stellar performance, witty banter and all the feelings. There's a reason this show keeps popping up in Hollywood: it's fantastic and audiences are finding out. Don't miss this one! ... full review

Diana is a fantastic storyteller, and boy does she have a story to share. She shatters expectations and takes the audience on a literal journey around the world, hitting all the highs and lows of living life as an "other" (in many different capacities) along the way. An expertly crafted performance! ... full review

A surreal journey through current events using poetry, hip hop, and insane visuals. I mean that makes sense, these are insane times. Gatzby Is. is a lot of things, but it is first and foremost unique in it's content and delivery. An absolutely worthwhile effort. ... full review

This was a rare piece that I came into almost completely blind, and I am so thankful I did. What a wonderful ride, with probably my favorite opening to a show that I've seen in a long time (if you've never heard Erik Satie's music with improvised vocalizations I highly recommend, but only if it's Seamus doing the singing). This show is as silly or as inciteful as you'll allow it to be: it's a fun clown show featuring a former first lady; it's a comment on current events and how we got here; or if... full review
