The Faults in My Stars

jay dutcher · June 20, 2023 certified reviewer
A sweet, beautiful, and (sometimes darkly) humorous story examining the performer's astrological birth chart during a pandemic identity crisis, and ultimately about loving, honoring, and making space for all the imperfect sides of ourselves. Makes you feel good about yourself and others!... full review

Waiting For A Show

jay dutcher · June 20, 2023 certified reviewer
A surprising, bold, and vulnerable exploration of courting the spotlight. This is the kind of idea that would scare the shit out of me to bring to fruition, and these mad lads did it and did it well. ... full review

FIVE YEARS IN AMSTERDAM

A top-notch storyteller doing what he does best - hydrating. No, I mean storytelling. Some people have incredibly interesting lives and some people talk about their lives in a very interesting way, but Brendan Hunt does both. ... full review

HAUNTING RIGHTS

jay dutcher · June 19, 2023 certified reviewer

Cross My Heart

jay dutcher · June 19, 2023 certified reviewer
Vulnerable storytelling at its finest, with a unique and personal POV. I left the show with compassion for humankind in the face of our pitfalls and a framed picture of the performer's school photo (no, really). ... full review

Three Guys, One Groupon

Oh my god I LOVED this show. Seeing this show was the kind of special experience I expect while at a Fringe show - hilariously funny, darkly moving and emotionally profound. ... full review

Let's Get Silly!

jay dutcher · June 11, 2022 certified reviewer
This was SO FUN! I came out feeling good, feeling happy, feeling energized and full. Not that I'm proud of it, but I am kind of a "hard laugh", but this show seems to be tailor made to let the laughter flow, because I was har-har laughing the whole time. This is the perfect show for a weekend afternoon, a great brunch show. And if you have more Fringe to see afterwards, it's a fantastic warm up!... full review
