2024 Audience Reviews

Company: Playabunga Productions
Show: The Life Robotic
Venue: Mixed Blood Theatre

Impressive!

This is such a creative show and phenomenally fit for fringe! Watching the actors trying to work around the repeatedly odd things to come out of the robots mouth was my favorite part (as well as the irony of Lauren Anderson telling us in the pre-show announcement to turn our phones off), and most of the time they hit the nail on the head! You will leave having had a great time.

Show: The Dumb Waiter
Venue: Open Eye Theatre

Yes yes yes

A strange and fascinating script done justice by its actors. It was also perfectly fit into the space which is tricky to do at fringe! Would sit and be wonderfully confused at again.

Love a family friendly fringe show!

I was so happy to see such a kids friendly show at the fringe festival and could see what a blast the cast was having. Some moments were saved by the absolute beauty of the costumes and props. What a cool moment with the dogfish reveal and I really loved the crow puppets! Bravo to the cast and crew :)

Company: Melancholics Anonymous
Show: Beanie Baby Divorce Play
Venue: Open Eye Theatre

I mean, iconic

What a weird show in the best, most fringe-y way. Very nostalgic and made me realize I should go through my old beanie babies. Shout out to Princess bear bc omg did they bring the drama and vocals!

Company: Theatre On The Rocks
Show: A Horse Walks Out Onto the Stage and Dies
Venue: Phoenix Theater

Funny in all possible ways

What I really loved about this show was how the dialogue (and horribly edited photos in the beginning slideshow) served as only a small part of the humour. The timing, delivery of lines, action, and small gestures from each of the characters really made the writing shine. The actors did a phenomenal job at telling a not so straightforward story. Will be repping the horse buttons for fringe fests to come.

Company: Clevername Theatre
Show: The Peter Pan Cometh
Venue: Theatre in the Round

Made me giggle

This show was a fun follow up to the well loved story :) Some of the lines got lost in the characters but overall an interesting story with some great characterization. The screams of pain and sound fx of various deaths/injuries were very convincing, I was thoroughly cringing (in a good way) . It had the Zazz

Company: Eye of Jupiter Theatre
Show: The Greenhouse
Venue: The Southern Theater

Such a calming show wow 🧘‍♀️

The Greenhouse was a phenomenal example of a well established world made clear by some stellar acting. I was in love with the costumes, story, music, and general vibes. ❤️ Such a lovely, comforting show in a perfect venue for it! 10 greenhouses out of ten.
