Pit of Goblins is a must see! Funny, disturbing and a fantastic soundtrack.
Mitchell is either a genius or in terrible need of therapy, either way you want to watch....

It was refreshing to feel challenged a bit while watching 2 for 1. Alyssa Virker's avant-garde approach to her show was bold and took its time shaping the message that came together nicely by the end. Angela Beever's show was unapologetically intimate and brave in a way that felt relatable even if you had not lost a parent under such brutal circumstances. Both women should be applauded for exposing themselves through their art in such a fearless and courageous way. ...

One of my favorite shows at Fringe. Kirkland's story about how he became (for a time) obsessed and convinced by various YouTube conspiracy theories is utterly compelling. It's well written, well directed, and really well performed. ...

Brilliant. We thoroughly enjoyed the show. Beautiful, fun, funny, moving.
The time flew by. Loved the actor. Jon Ebeling portrayed his protagonist deftly, perfectly. He takes you on an interesting and fun ride through the adventures of Bob Donovan, successful Hollywood screen writer. We plan to see it again!...

A portrait of inner suffering that is strange and yet strangely familiar. On the one hand, how many of us can relate to feeling we have a foreign object in our body that drives us to insanity, but on the other hand how many of us can relate to having tortured thoughts that drive us to insanity?...

The fun concept of writer-director Katy Foley’s Best Night Ever: A Bachelor(ette) Night is that you, the audience, show up at a bar and get in a limo for a bachelor or bachelorette party, and nothing goes to plan, in all the most entertaining ways. But the execution of the idea proves more difficult to pull off than anticipated, leaving you in this weird place in between immersion and alienation....

Tap dancing. Balloon animals. Unscheduled grapes. Twirly's Traveling Tricks is probably the last show I'll catch at this year's Fringe, and it was a great one to close out on. Benedict delivers a hilarious one-woman variety show in character as Twirly the itinerant undead clown, who is perfectly comfortable with tap numbers, singing, and other tricks, but struggles with more mundane tasks like coherent sentences or putting on shoes and hats. It's all delightfully surreal, and there's a bit of vul...

Every once in a while you get lucky enough to see a master of improv at the top of his form. Unfortunately, that was not this show. The humor is dry, the timing was off, but it was still an interesting show, primarily for the M&Ms being passed around. ...

There have been quite a few politically charged shows at HFF19, but this one is unique among them. It tells the story of the nonviolence movement started by Mahatma Gandhi and perfected by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. It is told in story and song, and will stay with you long after the final bow. ...
