A really wonderful show about a clown giving a lecture on his machine that brings back a German lecturer from the 1800s. What ensues is a magnificent mix of slapstick, silliness, magic and hypnotism. I loved it. There were a lot of kids there in the audience who just ate it up, but it was perfect for adults.I smiled the whole way through. A MUST SEE. ...

I saw bits of this originally a few years ago as a part of Sacred Fools' late night show "Serial Killers", so I was familiar with the characters going in.
What Victor did in the intervening years was to take the characters and weave them into a funny, powerful show about redemption and living on through the impact you leave on others.
I did not expect to be so moved by the last 20 minutes. Simply beautiful. The way the show crafts these silly characters to be people we care about by the e...

You are promised a burlesque show, but what you get with this is much more interesting and wonderful. The show is basically a concert. An intimate concert with dancing and burlesque.
And intimate is the key. She has no problem bringing the show to each member of the audience so we feel included and spoken to. Some members were given glasses and draped with a flashy boa, some were spoken to directly with eye contact. And she wasn't shy about dancing with people, sitting in their laps or taking...

I am a friend of Richard's and also a fan if his music for a long time. I always find his show to be a highlight of the Fringe. His songs range from funny, to poignant, to satirical, to downright silly (I blame the monkeys). Well worth your time. 17 songs all in an hour, and maybe a bonus.... Check him out. You won't be sorry. ...

This was my first foray in to on-on-one immersive theater, and I wasn't sure to expect. I heard vague stories from previous years that Annie's piece were very intense, but this one said it was PG, so I was up for anything.
The show was very simple. A conversation over coffee or tea. I was a bit nervous and spent way too much time choosing a mug, (Sorry!) But when we got to sitting down and got in to the story it was really magical. A wonderful story about family, love, disappointment, and the...

This cabaret is five wonderful women singing about 15 Elton John songs - with costumes and funny glasses galore. That's really it. A couple anecdotes along the way, but mostly it's just singing the songs. They are wonderful singers, and from the start they encourage audience participation. I had a wonderful time with a room full of people singing Elton John songs. If you think this appeals to you, go see it! I can't recommend this enough. ...

If you've never had the pleasure of listening to Richard Levinson's music, then you're missing out. If you like parody songs in the same vein as Allan Sherman, Dr. Demento, and Weird Al then this is the show for you! Add to that the immense talent of Rebecca Larsen and you have one of the best shows of the Fringe. Go see this show! ...
