Shiva for Anne Frank

If you’re reading this: GO SEE THIS SHOW. It’s the best of a fringe all in one: a wondrous and fast-paced one woman show that moves effortlessly between hilarity and deep sadness. There’s some Fleabag self-deprecation humour mixed with Hannah Gadsby’s socially conscious lens. Just as it’s not solely about Rachel, it’s not solely about Anne - the piece forces us to question our roots, our humanity, our identity, and what the hell we can do to make our world better. ...

This show was very intelligent, provocative and funny. I hate to say too much for fear of spoiling the surprises, but suffice it to say, it’s an incredibly original story and like none you’ve ever heard before!
The two well-cast actors play their parts perfectly. And the dialogue is very smart. Don’t miss this! ...

Never in my life have I been in such awe of a performer. Blown away by the bravery of Robert Leggett. Thank you for sharing your story, for telling your truth and for finally getting on that stage and being all you. You are a beacon of light and you shined so bright tonight. If you want to see a story, told simply and beautifully. Go become a part of Robert's journalistic journey. Thank you for making me a part of your life and being a part of mine. Forever and ever, amen. You made me cry and cry...

This was a brilliant comedy/magic show. The presentation of the magic was superb. Loved the use of audience members and the improv involved. Couldn't stop laughing. It's not common to see a performance so well polished in the Fringe....

Childhood memories of story time is brought to beautiful life with this piece! The actors are so adept with their physical theatre skills, navigating story and direct address with nuanced fluency. Fiasco Physical Theatre Co. really makes you see how the imagination of the actor and the audience are all you need to enjoy an evening at the theatre. ...

In the sea of familiar faces flowing through the Hollywood Fringe Festival, you may occasionally find a whitecap break the surface of the ocean in the form of Robert Leggett's legendary beard. This man has seen hundreds of Fringe shows over his time visiting the festival, and he reviews each one with the fondness of a man who has lived many lives and enjoyed an impossibly multitude of performances. Speaking with Bob in passing for whatever tickled his fancy today is an absolute gift; reading a wa...

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! ...

What an amazing cast! This is my 2nd time seeing it and I loved it even more especially with the ending when JC wins. Kristen Cook stands out with her many faceted roles and I loved even her non speaking parts when she was the interpreter. Every role was perfectly cast and each character is so nicely intertwined with each other. You can definitely tell they genuinely like one another which makes for a fun and engaging show. The ensemble executed the extremely talented writing with precise timing...

The Color Collective is an insanely intelligent sketch comedy show that (give it a few years) will rival MAdTV, In Living Color, or dare I say, Saturday Night Live. The writers are on point, the acting is hilarious, and the whole shebang makes for an incredibly entertaining evening. GO. SEE. THIS. ...

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. ...
