An interesting concept that has an interesting first half and then falls a bit flat during the second half--the second half lost momentum and was the same joke concept over and over for about 30 minutes. It was a funny gag, but it went on too long. First half was pretty good, though.... full review

A powerful performance that was overpowered by sound and the lack of A/C during the performance.... full review

I won tickets to this at Fringe Cabaret, and I was thoroughly impressed--this show didn't interest me originally, but it was hysterical, and I'm glad I didn't miss it--it was hilarious and lots of fun!... full review

The show has a lot of clever puns, and the music was pretty funky, but the whole time, I felt like this show was catered toward a specific demographic because of all the "Magic Mike" elements this show had, like a '70s version of "Magic Mike," but with everyone leaving their clothes on. It was funky and fresh, especially the music, but not catered toward my demographic. However, the demographic it was catered toward were TOTALLY INTO IT. If this is your thing, you'll love it.... full review

This show was HILARIOUS. The performers are really good at doing what they do, especially when they get good suggestions from the audience (and even not-so-good ones!), and the meaning behind their forming of a troupe is inspiring as well. Try and catch this show if you can--it's one of the funniest improv groups I've seen. The transitions were sometimes a bit awkward and not quite so smooth, which detracted from the pace ever-so-slightly, but they more than made up for it during their games--... full review

The show itself is fun, but there were only about 3 or 4 total mind reading tricks in the full hour. The main mind reader was funny and an adorable senior citizen, but because of his age, the pacing was a bit slow (which he did joke about!), which sometimes made the ultimate mindreading a bit less tight and therefore not as impressive as it could have been at a much faster pace. That being said, it's a fun show, and if you're interested in ESP, laughing, have some extra cash, and have an openin... full review

The show is good. It's funny, engaging, but also very dry. There's underlying theatre references (Chekov style, etc.) that are really cool to look out for, and the cast seemed to be having a great time. Btw, the show ran about 45 minutes, so there's plenty of time to catch this show AND another one right after--don't let the run time turn you away. It's a cool show!... full review

I'd call it "The Big Fat Fun Musical," because that's exactly what it is--big, fat, and fun. Stroll never misses a beat, quite literally, from her dancing shoes to her mature voice--and singing as so many different characters was clever and loads of awesome!... full review

It's cool if you're drinking and hanging out at Fringe Central, but don't go out of your way to catch it.... full review

There was a lot of hype surrounding this show from a lot of people I talked to who highly recommended it, and while I enjoyed it, it didn't quite meet my expectations. Is it worth checking out at least once? Yes, it's free and if you can stay up late after Fringe-ing all day. If it's on your list, check it out. The guest stars blew me away as did Mitchell in the main cast, and I thought the rest of the main cast was good, too, but the standouts for me were the guest stars and Mitchell.... full review
