My favorite ensemble shows are ones where the cast meshes easily and obviously gets along well with each other. Mayor’s Debate was exactly this. The actors were playful, imaginative, and had *fun* on the stage. Believe it or not, sometimes you can tell actors aren’t having fun. This wasn’t the case for Mayor’s Debate....

This show is a grand ol' good time. It was fun from start to finish and I left the theatre feeling pleased I had seen it. It's not meant to be super *****deep***** and I appreciated that. Also, that actor Jessica (I think that's her name) is so charming and likable on-stage and I love her character work. Should I steal it for my own show? Mwuahahah we shall never know >:)...

Brett is the kind of guy who I could watch read nutrition facts off of cereal boxes and I'd still be enthralled. He has such a natural, comfortable presence on-stage that you don't even feel like you're watching a show....

Victoria is relatable and invites the audience into a small slice of her life growing up in LA. I loved how I could relate to the moments of young adulthood that she told us about (boys, high school). Hopefully I’ll get to see Victoria perform again!...

Crystal is comfortable in her body on-stage and she doesn’t hold back from diving into her playful, youthful imagination. I could watch her dance around onstage all day!...

This is an insider look into the underground life of a group of serial killers. Expect audience participation, body bags, and a lot of bricks. The beginning of the play seemed like a dark comedy for me, I’m not sure if that was the intention, but I enjoy dark comedies so it worked well for me. The ending? Well...that’s definitely not a comedy! ...

So fun and so entertaining. I didn’t know what to expect going in and I was pleasantly aurprised. I think you guys should take this to other places once Fringe is over because it would be a shame if more people didn’t see it. It’s a spectacular example of how to do a low budget Fringe musical and still have an excellent show. I was very impressed. ...

Although this was a show that poked fun at a few of the absurd characters Lindsey has met in her life it was also endearing. We may have laughed *at* all of the characters but we fell in love with them too. Also, I want to see another show where Lindsey re-enacts that story she told at the end of the play. I would love to see her become those people on stage and blow me away once again. ...

This show was painful to watch. Wait, let me explain. This is a good thing because pain is literally the coolest thing an Emo kid could ask for (it’s Goth-Speak for “really forking great”). I had actual flashbacks to Jack Skellington hoodies and shoelace belts. I looked down at my hands and suddenly I was wearing black nail polish and holding a T-mobile Sidekick. This show is FULL of hilarious, all-too-familiar references to everything your mid-00s emo self would die for. Get it? Because dying is...

One of the best shows at Fringe I’ve seen this far. This piece is so well done, so touching, so relatable, so playful, so full of freedom and joy. Amanda is a little kid again, and she holds the audience in her hand the entire time. I hope this show gets more attention. I know that I’ll for sure be recommending it because it would be a mistake not to see this....
