Multi-talented Cast Delivers!
Each show is different, as three wheels are spun to determine genre, title, and the lead actor. This group has obviously worked a lot together, as they know how to signal to each member of the ensemble what should happen next, and when to repeat certain plot points, or to end a scene. It was just great to watch, but also to see how each member picked up on certain things that other members were doing in a scene to make it better. I highly recommend you seeing this show.

Go See This Show!
This incredibly talented and funny comedienne never disappoints! I regret not having seen her before her show last year. Delightful, hilarious, charming!

A Riotously Funny Show
These two incredibly funny and talented performers, both with a huge background in sketch comedy, really bring home the absurdities of raising a child and sending them off into the world, while fretting that they have not done enough. Even for someone without children, I loved this show. Absolutely hysterical.

A Wonderful Send-Up Of "Jaws"
There were tons of references for those of us who know the original movie to guffaw at, but there is still plenty of jokes for everyone else. A really solid comedy and satire. Incredibly well written, acted, and directed.

Thoroughly Entertained
I had a great time, as did the rest of the audience. Special shout out to Steph Callaghan, I mean, wow wow wow, that was an amazing performance, incredible comic timing and acting. Some parts of the show dragged a bit, but overall the laughs kept coming. But there really needed to be a button on the end of the show to bring it all to a close. That having been said, this show is definitely worth your time.

Lives Up To All The Pre-Show Buzz!
Nissa and Sam are consummate performers and improvisors. Each night has a different scenes, as well as different suggestion questions from the audience. All of the disparate scenes end up coalescing to a cohesive whole, and you probably won't see it coming. I had a great time, as did the rest of the audience.

Funny and Moving
It is so great to have Scot back writing and performing his one-man shows once again. If you are familiar with his previous work, and even if you're not, you will be grateful to see this show. Comedic yet heartfelt. Just lovely.

We are all Matt
Funny and oh so familiar. What a great time! As most of us who are seeing Fringe shows are involved in theater productions in some way or another, the palpable frustration of one member of a cast/crew struggling against every aspect of a show to make it a production one can be proud of, we can all relate to at one point or another. Well written and well acted (wait, I should say, incredibly well "bad acted")
Company: Deanne McDonald / The Traveling Players
Show: Sisters on Stage: An elder millennial’s exploration of Shakespeare’s sisters
Venue: Mixed Blood
Kudos To Deanne!!!
A superlative show! Considering that Deanne has never written, produced, or performed a one-woman show before, I just have to say "Wow." Moving and engaging as she relates her own life to the sisters and siblings of Shakespeare's plays. Again, Kudos to Deanne!

Master Storyteller
Jen Scott is ebullient and brings joy to everything. Even while sharing some of the tragedies in her life, there is still a positivity/joy of life infusing it. But a great deal of the show is just her sharing her joyful experiences.
Company: Old Dog Theatre Company
Show: Guy For Now
Venue: Rarig Nolte Xperimental Theatre
An Absolute Delight
A delightful romp! Imagine Durango’s “Actor’s Nightmare” but without the malice or menace. A hapless man is thrust into a stage play which keeps changing genres. Incredibly engaging and funny!
Company: Angela Fox Productions
Show: Fighting Unicorns
Venue: Phoenix Theater
A Must See
You will laugh wholeheartedly. You will be amazed by the physical ensemble creating a multitude of environments, creatures, and eeriness. You will be moved to tears by the emotional honesty of the piece. Go see this show.

Ari Back On Stage!!!!
No one does intellectual linguistic humor like Ari. I was just so delighted to see him doing new work. This is long overdue. I hope for more from this man in the near future.

Great Performances of two serial killers. I'm not sure of the point of the piece, but I was thoroughly entertained throughout.
