A rare treat - to be surrounded by some of these stars of television and film, spending an evening performing improv games.
As is the situation with improv, every show is different, as the audience selects the activity, emotion, location, and background for each game. The result is a fun-filled hour of hilarity, joviality, rapture and enough laughs to make your sides hurt.

Wasn't quite sure what to expect but was pleasantly surprised. The cast is quite good and present the material well. I really enjoyed the visualization of trying to mount a production of a classic musical . . . in a strip club. Brilliant....

Lost Moon Radio has a long history of successful Fringe shows, so the pressure was on to continue that tradition. They fully kept their reputation intact with this show.
Although totally different from past offerings, this show stands on its own as a shining example of the talent pool that Lost Moon Radio has to draw from.
Although it is portrayed as a Children's Show, this show is definitely NOT family friendly. It is, however, a comedic delight, and will, like this show, sell out. Do...

I came to see the show because I'm friends with several of the cast members, having fallen in love with them in last year's production of Doomsday Cabaret. That being said this is a totally different animal.
The cast of this show were incredible, especially Laura Sperrazza and Anna Bowen - those two can SING!
Loved the story and the way the company approached it. It came across perfectly.

Alex Knox is a storyteller, plain and simple. This show is a work of art, especially if you love music like I do. His tale of the parallels between his life and the life of the super group Steely Dan will leave you laughing, crying but above all enlightened.
This show is a delight!...

I must admit that I chose this show because of its flyer, a picture of a woman trying to chose between a banana and a taco. I thought it seemed interesting based just on the photo, let alone the words "adventures in sexuality."
WOW, was I in for a shock. Keaton Talmadge is divine. The journey she leads us on is full of twists and turns, but in the end, it leads to a destination we desire - the definition of true love.
Don't miss this incredible show....

Unlike most Fringe shows, this one encourages you to leave your phones on, to live tweet, Instagram or Vine the performance and share the experience.
Although a bit choppy and sometimes difficult to follow, the show as a whole was fun and enlightening. You feel for the struggles of the characters, although sometimes they telegraph their intent too much.
It is a worthy effort. Kudos to Spencer Howard for a good story and a understandable performance of the transformation that the need for ...

Kass' storytelling reminded me of a tribal elder, standing in the center of a gathering of his tribe as he led them through the images of his journey and the lessons learned. The mental images his words created were crystal clear. I could feel his emotions, his fear and his ultimate victory.
This is a not to be missed show.

Just like that famous song from our youth, "this is how you do it." Corey Lynn Howe has directed a masterpiece that showcases the extremely talent cast in a show about the process of writing and staging a hit musical.
I loved the inside references that most theater people will get. I especially loved the singing (go Heather Lake!), which is a good thing, since this is a musical.
This show inspired me. It was the perfect ending to my hectic Friday. [Title of Show] has a very good chance ...

This is not your typical courtroom drama - yes, it happens in a courtroom and yes, it is a drama, of sorts.
What separates this production is the physicality of the show - sound effects, spontaneous tango dances, excellent use of the sparse set.
If you're bored with the straight dramas, then check out this show for something different. A great effort.
