Don’t Kill Daisy at The Broadwater

Don’t Kill Daisy at The Broadwater, created and performed by Soleil Kohl, feels like the world’s first live-action video game. The immersion begins the moment you walk through the door. Audience members are invited to select props that become part of the adventure, and Kohl incorporates these choices with astonishing improvisational skill, weaving them seamlessly into the performance with impeccable timing. This was one of the most purely fun experiences I’ve had at Fringe. Every moment feels alive, unpredictable, and collaborative. Kohl has created a show where the audience isn’t simply watching—they’re helping shape the world in real time.

What impressed me most was Kohl’s ability to transform the simplest audience contribution into something meaningful. At one point, I tossed a small stuffed prop into the mix, and within moments it had become the centerpiece of an entire world, complete with its own mythology and monologue. The same imaginative alchemy happened again and again throughout the show. Don’t Kill Daisy is a remarkable display of creativity, improvisation, and audience engagement. Unforgettable, delightfully weird, and unlike anything else at Fringe. I can’t wait to see what Soleil Kohl creates next.

Little Chaos

Little Chaos at Cat’s Crawl is one of my top ten Fringe shows this year. I was completely blown away. The production unfolds like a dream—fluid, surreal, and emotionally resonant in a way that’s difficult to describe but impossible to forget. At its heart, the show feels like an exploration of what modern dating does to the soul. Rather than telling a straightforward story, it creates a theatrical language of feeling, transforming emotion into movement, image, sound, and space. The production makes masterful use of every inch of the stage, and Cat’s Crawl proves to be the perfect venue for its intimate yet expansive vision. Watching it felt like stepping inside a moving painting—each scene flowing seamlessly into the next, creating an experience that is felt as much as it is understood. The ensemble is flawless, executing every moment with precision, commitment, and remarkable chemistry. For longtime Fringers, the closest comparison I can make is the feeling I had seeing Mandy Rubeli’s Dinosaurs for the first time in 2023: that rare sensation of discovering something wholly original, deeply personal, and unmistakably special.

30 April 1975: How We Left

A concise, 30-minute play detailing the resilience of leaving a war-torn Vietnam, Vivi Thai does a great job in presenting her deeply personal story, allowing use to feel through by images and documents, personal accounts. Vivid stories and images that remind us of the horrors of war. Important, intimate, and lessons that will stay with us long after the show ends. I know Vivi will continually work on this and I can’t wait to see how it will develop.

Welcome To Hell

I went again. So much fun!

Being The Perfect Woman at The Broadwater

Seen this at 30 Minutes or Less Fest and I think it’s too important to miss! Diaz shows us what society wants from the “Perfect Woman” and how harmful that can be to everyone. Sharp, concise, and full of heart; awakens us to our own humanity in a 30 minute show. Diaz does a good job connecting with the audience, rather than lecturing us, finding ways to include each of us in same way. Too short, ends too quickly. I want more!

On The Line at The Broadwater

Writer/director Pam Eberhardt and Dan Testa return to the Fringe Festival with a tense, psychological thriller about crisis counselors working the overnight shift. I first heard about this show as I saw audience members walking out of the theater, after the show had ended, remarking, “That show was so good… intense!” And I cannot help but agree! The show is more about the relationships within the center, the unfolding of character, than the crises they work on. With chilling performances and a strong script, these actors do a good job at getting into each other’s skins.

Early Day at Actor’s Company

Powerful, intense subjects. Follows a therapist and how they take care of themselves outside of the office. Feels like a few different episodes, on the different lives of Therapist’s clients and their lives outside. Poignant moments with touching scenes. Actors were too young. Passionate piece. Not my cup of tea.

Husky Whispers: Baked Alaska at The Broadwater

Riley Smith and Cole Cuomo bring the band, made up of Husky and Whispers back to the Hollywood Fringe, and keep us entertained for a fascinating late night show! The show is full of musical acts with comedic breaks, in the unique tons of these original characters. An unforgettable storytelling and musical experience that is full of songs that you will be humming along to on your way home! Could almost feel the ground shake through their voices.

Vote For Tom Ryan: One Last Time at The Broadwater

I have not seen the other Tom Ryan shows, but this is the other shows with an added third act. Vote For Tom Ryan follows Tom Ryan who is in the midst of running for high school president. He, and his classmates, take this election as serious as if it were the U.S Presidential Election. From there, comedy ensues. I thought it is a smart, sharp, and charming comedy with a grounded premise and what I loved most was the commitment of the characters/actors.

Sister Bernadette Runs The Light

Sister Bernadette gets the part started! A wonderful show and Stellar performance from Indiana Wilson who keeps us laughing nonstop. I had no idea what to expect, but am glad I joined the fun. Wilson makes for a charming and confident performer, creating a character that lets her express many different talents. I liked how, while fully in character, the Sister could interact with audience members. A short, balanced work of comedy. No notes!

Bless This Jess at The Broadwater

A blend of history and mental health, with surprising and insightful twists. Jessica Martin takes us through the history of Joan of Arc while also detailing his life, finding parallels. I could not help but think of Joseph Campbell’s saying, “Find your myth” and Jess sharing the synchronicity that comes with it. There is the saying, “You can give a guy a fish, or you can teach him how to fish” but Jess teaches us how to want to find out more about fishing, ignites our curiosity, through her journey in what i can call, the best history class I have attended in years! She is an engaging presenter and sprinkles humor in at the right moments with balanced trasitions.

Hold That Thought While I Scream at The Hobgoblin Playhouse

This play was pitched to me as “a therapist trying to manage her inner thoughts,” which immediately caught my attention. I know a thing or two about therapy and the ethics of therapy, so I thought I would check this out. Early on, I found myself wondering whether the playwright had consulted with a therapist, as some of the situations felt removed from how therapy would unfold in real life.

Then I reminded myself: this is a play, not a documentary.

Once I let go of the expectation of realism, I was able to appreciate what the production was actually exploring, the anxiety of living truthfully. The three acts didn’t feel particularly linear to me, and felt like an exploration of the main character through different episodic stages. The characters continually switch between the straight-man of comedy and different roles of absurdity, exploring different masks to their core. Ultimately, I really enjoyed the play’s willingness to move through different dream states and psychological landscapes. The show is strange, funny, and emotionally resonant, and keeps you thinking about the different characters after the show is over.

MPAT’s Burt Thunders Presents: The First Annual Fundraiser to Save the Whales at The Zephyr Theater

Burt Thunder is a delightfully unhinged comedy that thrives on chaos. The premise is wonderfully simple: fading local celebrity Burt Thunders is determined to raise a million dollars to save the whales through a telethon, and his increasingly desperate attempts to do so send the entire production spiraling into absurdity.

The real joy of the show comes from watching a slow-motion disaster unfold. The characters’ situations become progressively worse, and the comedy escalates right alongside them. Every new setback feels like another wave crashing over an already sinking ship, and the audience is invited to laugh at every glorious catastrophe.

The ensemble delivers charming performances filled with distinct personalities, giving each character a memorable presence amid the madness. The production also makes excellent use of the performance space, and the props are deployed with creativity and confidence, becoming an essential part of many of the show’s biggest laughs.

My one criticism is that the show occasionally struggles to find its exit. Several moments feel like they could have served as satisfying endings, yet the story continues beyond them. While the comedy remains entertaining throughout, tightening the final stretch would give the production an even stronger impact.

The Magic Computer at LGBT Center

A staged reading for the most part, but I was blown away. Deeply personal, the one-person show follows Kel Cripe’s journey into discovering their gender. The Magic Computer offers unsolicited photos that are memories from the past, and Cripe is here to share and explore what has come up on their magic computer. Cripe has a comedian’s instinct for finding humor in vulnerability, and the laughs arrive naturally alongside genuinely moving moments. As they read through her story, we see pictures of their life in different stages projected behind. A wickedly funny and important show, one that offers insight and soul-stirring moments. What I liked most about Kel’s performance was the aliveness and connection they created with the audience for the hour; they were not simply reading from a script, but they were reacting to the living space between us. For instance, as we heard audience clapping for another event outdoors, Kel would respond to the applause humorously. I highly recommend this show. Like the memories it explores, you never quite know what will surface next, and that’s part of what makes the experience so special.

Coffee Date at The Broadwater

A charming, witty, and surprisingly heartfelt romantic comedy that captures the awkwardness, excitement, and vulnerability of dating later in life. The cast delivers strong performances across the board, bringing warmth and authenticity to relationships that feel real and connected. The dialogue is sharp and funny, funny moments with genuine emotional depth.An interesting take on dating in the modern era, heavy with philosophical discussion. Very relevant themes, but I don’t want to spoil anything. A comedy that feels like a Woody Allen play. I’m not sure it needed to be on main stage, felt like it could use more intimacy at a smaller space. Also, why were audience members seated on stage to create ambiance?

I’m running behind, let me speed through.

The Cure Ate Her at Actor’s Company

First show of the day for me and the funniest tour guide you’ll ever have. Non-stop laughs, comedic freedom, top-tier comedy. Hilarious guide that does everything but get through the tour. Museum tour gone wrong, by her own anxiety. The laughs are relentless, fueled by her comedic fearlessness, quick wit, and boundless energy. What begins as a simple museum tour becomes a masterclass in comedic derailment, as her guide manages to do everything except actually get through the exhibit. Beneath the absurdity lies a surprisingly relatable portrait of anxiety, turning a routine tour into a brilliantly funny meltdown that never stops entertaining.

Strange Things at The Broadwater

Dark and brooding, ominous entrance. I knew nothing coming in. Great set, technical design. Really comes together well. Insightful, thoughtful. Good, but feels like it was written for the screen. A play about avoidant attachment. Made me wonder, think about my own humanity. Second half is stronger, first half lacks intimacy.

Strange Beings opens with a dark, brooding atmosphere and an ominous entrance. Knowing absolutely nothing about the show going in, I was quickly drawn in by its impressive technical design and thoughtfully constructed set. While the premise involves an alien encounter and a malfunctioning translator aboard a courier ship, the real drama unfolds between its two pilots, Mina and Caleb. The play has a surprising emotional intelligence, exploring themes of avoidant attachment, vulnerability, and the ways people protect themselves from pain. As the layers of the characters’ history are peeled back, the audience is invited to reflect on their own relationships and capacity for grace. I found myself thinking not only about Mina and Caleb’s humanity, but my own.

The production truly finds its footing in the second half, where the emotional stakes deepen and the character work becomes more intimate and compelling. Thoughtful, insightful, and emotionally resonant, it’s a science-fiction story that keeps its focus firmly on the human heart.

Country Girl Make A Do at The Stray Theater

Sound effects, karaoke, spontaneous, goofy. Sam G. pushes beyond the limit, her show is wildly entertaining and confident. Clown work to an extreme! Like a Jackson Pollock painting… wild, unpredictable, and impossible to look away from. Loved the use of sound effects and incorporating props and effects in, what appears to be, an improvisational manner. Went too long, missed my next show.

Grief Box at The Broadwater

Went to this show on a whim after missing my other show, and I was pleased! This was so entertaining! Award-winning Kathleen Leary. returns to and commands the stage and gets us laughing till after the show is over. An interesting concept, where Dr. Adeline Graves, a motivational speaker, comes to promote her invention, the Grief Box, to help deal with life’s inescapable strifes. It is wild, heartfelt, and gets funnier as the show goes on! A 10 out of 10 in comedy!

Mark Vigeant: Out There!

Mark is one of my favorite performers and this show proves it yet again. I had seen this show last year, and brought my family in to see it this time (for a midnight show); and they loved it! I have nothing new to say about it other than IT IS ONE OF THE BEST FRINGE EXPERIENCES. Come see Larry live-stream his trip in nature, as he plays around with the whole stage and fools around with the audience. An experience you don’t want to miss. I would put it in my top ten.

Hollywood Fringe Festival, day 2

Emotional Alpha by Andrew Knox

A masterfully structured show that somehow gets funnier with every passing minute. Andrew Knox stars as Eleos Richard, a Licensed Male Emotions Specialist, and welcomes the audience to an Alpha Male Bootcamp for heterosexual men. As absurd as that premise sounds, the show evolves into something surprisingly heartfelt and moving.

Knox expertly blends therapeutic concepts with laugh-out-loud comedy, maintaining a sharp satirical edge throughout. The result is a unique theatrical experience that manages to parody masculinity while also exploring it with genuine compassion and insight.

This is unlike anything else you’ll see at Fringe. It is boldly original, highly conceptual, and consistently entertaining. It may be too early to make predictions, but I have a strong feeling this will end up in my Top Ten of the festival. I already plan to see it again, and I genuinely believe it deserves to sell out every night.

Sperm Assassination by Pam Levin

In Sperm Assassination, Pam Levin’s one-woman show, she recounts her journey toward accepting motherhood with honesty, vulnerability, and humor. Levin is an award-winning performer and a charismatic storyteller, and her authenticity shines throughout the production. She presents her experiences with remarkable candor, allowing the audience to engage directly with her perspective rather than leaving room for excessive interpretation.

While deeply personal, the story touches on universal themes of anxiety, uncertainty, and life-changing decisions. Even as someone who has not experienced motherhood, I found myself connecting to the fears and questions surrounding parenthood. Levin explores a path traveled by many and finds meaningful ways to share its lessons, transforming personal experience into something both therapeutic and relatable.

One aspect that left me puzzled was the title. “Sperm Assassination” refers to only a small chapter of the larger story, making it feel somewhat disconnected from the overall narrative. Additionally, the show’s 75-minute runtime, felt a bit stretched, especially as it ran slightly over schedule.

Despite these minor criticisms, Sperm Assassination is a raw, sincere, and meaningful piece of theater. Levin’s warmth and skill as a performer make her story engaging from start to finish, offering an intimate reflection on fear, choice, and the unexpected ways we find meaning in life’s biggest transitions.

Fucking Famous by Molly Sharpe

Award-winning performer Molly Sharpe returns to the Hollywood Fringe Festival with yet another memorable comedic triumph. Fucking Famous is, simply put, fucking funny. Sharpe takes the stage bruised, battered, and sporting a bloody nose, but as any performer knows, the show must go on. What follows is a delightfully uncomfortable concert/comedy experience that invites us to laugh and sing along. Molly invites the audience to participate, sometimes hilariously demands. Her over the top set needs become a joy for the audience to participate in. A bold, hilarious, and joyfully unpredictable show that reminds us why she remains one of the festival’s most distinctive performers. If the audience does not participate the show is doomed. Just a fair warning (or invitation), though we had a great crowd. I became a bit embarrassed as I screwed up a cue near the end of the show.

Welcome to Hell by Mark Vigeant

Mark is one of my all time favorite performs. Great show, but, I’ll get to this tomorrow. I need to sleep.

Hollywood Fringe Festival, day 1

I am excited to jump back into reviewing shows for the Hollywood Fringe Festival. Let me use this site to offer a more personal take and detail more of my experience. Today I drove over to The Broadwater after work, and I would say today started out slow. The vibes weren’t there yet, but I ran into artists I had met before as well as new people whom I expect to see their shows. I managed to see four shows and get a good bit of socializing in. By my third show I was drained. Pleased to see Bryan doing security at the door for Plunge, as well as Trevor, doing a podcast on the sidewalk. Anyways, on with the reviews.

Party Boy by Adam Smith

I had seen Adam Smith’s previous work, so I came in expecting to be entertained and he did not disappoint. Party Boy follows a man seemingly searching for connection amid the chaos of his own party, at least as I interpreted it. The show is an immersive experience driven by a character whose awkward, unpredictable energy evokes the spirit of Andy Kaufman and Zach Galifianakis. Much of the humor comes from watching him navigate his own discomfort, creating moments that are both cringeworthy and hilarious.

Smith demonstrates a remarkable ability to work a live audience, skillfully reading, shaping, and amplifying the energy in the room. His audience interactions feel spontaneous yet controlled, drawing viewers deeper into the experience. The comedic timing throughout is impeccable, with each moment landing exactly when it should. I thoroughly enjoyed Party Boy and found it to be a funny, engaging, and memorable performance.

Wet Hot AMUSICAL Summer

A musical parody of campy theater about a movie that is a revival of a cult classic, one of the most fun experiences in all of Fringe! If you’re looking for smart, strange, high-energy comedy and a night of pure entertainment, this is a must-see. It’s a celebration of over-the-top theatricality that embraces its ridiculousness with infectious enthusiasm. Award-winning Cherry Poppins Theater Company does it again, with another smash hit at the Hollywood Fringe Festival. Expect to be entertained and not care too much about the plot. Sitting here, I cannot think of major themes, yet I hum through the music from the show. Direction, choreography, singing, and comedy all at a 10! I see that the program lists all characters as “Wet Hottie” so I don’t want to spoil any surprises here. It is bizarre, absurd, bold, boundary-pushing comedy.

DWNYC

This production is an adaptation of Harold Pinter’s The Dumb Waiter, relocated to 1970s New York. I am a fan of Harold Pinter’s work and I appreciated the opportunity to see this classic brought to life on stage. The play’s tension, ambiguity, and dark humor remain intact. The performances are solid, and that feels to be the main focus of the production. Two actors produced this project and that is respectable, I am loving the emergence of classical works at the Hollywood Fringe Festival. For those who enjoy watching revivals and/or classic works, this provides an enjoyable evening of theater.

Banana Man Live

What an imaginative and deeply moving piece of theater. The best way I can describe it is as “live theater animation”. Banana Man Live production that feels as though a cartoon has come to life on stage through creativity, movement, and sheer theatrical ingenuity. If you allow yourself to step into Ari Fromm’s imaginative world, you’ll be richly rewarded. The story follows a banana on a journey of self-discovery. Beneath its playful premise lies a thoughtful and surprisingly profound exploration of identity, belonging, and possibility.

I especially loved the inventive set pieces and props, which are woven seamlessly into the storytelling. Every visual element feels purposeful and enhances the whimsical nature of the production. Fromm’s performance is equally impressive as they effortlessly shifts between multiple fruit characters, giving each one a distinct personality and comic voice.

This is the kind of Fringe show that reminds you how limitless theater can be: imaginative, heartfelt, hilarious, and unlike anything else you’ll see.

Catharsis Bites by Catharsis Collective at The Broadwater

Ryan Lisman put together scenes from different original shows written by Catharsis Company members and it came out very well. I commend that all of these artists had something to say and put in hard work to produce their pieces. The project as a whole was very smooth and had good pacing, had strong pieces throughout. There were minimal sets but small set pieces that were easy to transfer; I blinked my eyes and a new show was up. Without further ado, let me get into the shows.

Fight Like Hell by Christian Levatino is a compelling opener and I loved every minute of it! It follows the story of January 6 rioters who are coming to insight mid-riot, hiding in one of the Capitol’s historic rooms. I am reminded of the masterpiece show by Rogue Ensemble, about the Pulse night club in Florida, real events dramatized. The play combines historic fiction with thriller-esque moments, blending historical events with heightened theatrical storytelling. The actors are all intense and the plot is gripping, watching these characters fall from grace, losing their moral high ground. Could have used more sound effects, I thought, but still, would be an awesome full production.

Blame It On The Raisin by Heidi Appe was about a lady who domesticated a lady bug. Good laughs here, absurdity to the extreme. If there was some deeper meaning, I didn’t catch it. I thought the actors could have been louder.

I have seen many iterations of SubUrban Limbo by Travyz Santos Gatz and this one got it just right! The play follows the lead Preston, post-rampage, trying to figure out his next steps. The writing by Travis Santos Gatz is really good, with philosophical themes that leave you thinking long after you have left the theater. I would say the direction by Olivia Greer Gulden is very focused and puts a different perspective on the story, ultimately blending different storylines together. Audience members were heard gasping, laughing, commenting “So good” right after the performance. I put a star next to Tharun Dulla’s name for an outstanding performance as Gino. He walked on stage and pulled in laughs for his stoic humor and endless banter. Other performers, including Sam Zukin, Isabella Costa, Jennifer Donovan did great too, adding different flavors to the production.

Infidel by David Neipris explores the tension between artistic integrity and the business reality of the arts Some really good writing by David Neipris with rich characters and backstories. It really does feel like a good chunk of a bigger idea, I’m excited to see where this one goes.

Angst is a clever production that follows one writer’s inner battle of his own imposter syndrome. Spencer Weitzel plays Anyone and Theo Fay plays Angst, both dressed very similar that makes it easy to know they are the same person. This iteration can be done with plenty of universal emotions, and stay easy to follow. Their energetic performances keep the audience entertained as they smoothly break the fourth wall at times.

Schizm by Ryan Lisman was the final production. A family drama, set during a dinner where chaos erupts. Individual secrets come out, changes that cannot go unnoticed. Excited for the full production in March.

Hollywood Fringe Fest, day 9
Saw too many shows tonight. I’m too tired to write. Bookmarking this for later.

A Perfectly Still Curveball at The Broadwater
- RomCom, just okay. Same actors Pam Quinn Eberhart always uses same actors, nice to see them team up. I have seen a lot of Pam’s shows, want to see her try a different style
15th Century Ballerina at The Broadwater
- Tagline – “Comedy, Tragedy, Silk, Cello, Dance.” This show brings all of that and much more!
- Wow what a hilarious character for a one person show. A modern day actors with her mind stuck in the 15th century. She interfaces with the present time while struggling to hold onto her profession as a ballerina. Taking us on wild adventures, short lived and eternal romances.
- Excellent performance and use of audience. Prepare to laugh your ass off and be wowed by such a role. Tour de force performance from Catherine O’Meara.
The Young Jane Show at EastPAC
- Hidden gem at Hollywood Fringe Fest, could easily win an award for political theater. This show is a historic documentation of our times.
- The play begins with Young Jane speaking to her viewers on a streaming service but transforms into a series of poetry and song, giving life to what our hearts fight for.
- I’m saddened that it was only me and two others in the audience. Lorne Stevenson Jr. gives a domineering performance that has us siding with Young Jane as they spiral into protest.
Jersey Devil at The Broadwater Mainstage
- Personal, poignant, and big laughs. Hal Rudnick is terrific in delivering this unique yet universal story, which pushes extremes but stays realistic.
- Rudnick speaks on anti social personality disorder and how it manifested in his father. Growing up with a lifetime of embarrassing and dangerous moments. The show stays on theme throughout and Hal shows pictures on the projector that captures moments.
- Did it need to be on main stage?
Holy Holy’s at The Broadwater
- Wow what a show. Clown Work is really taking over Fringe this year. This is a show like no other, it is art! Great performances, physical comedy, and use of tech design. A fun experience in which the audience will feel like a part of the show.

Hollywood Fringe Festival, day 7

I guess it’s day 7? Yesterday was the party, so, doesn’t count. I started a new job today. It’s late, let me try and get through this.

Dog of Carnage at The Broadwater

Might be Benjamin Schwartz’s best show yet, and a great production by the Catharsis Theatre Collective. Such a dynamic, fast-paced show with so many elements that work well together: sound, lighting, direction, etc. Excellent direction by Natalie Nicole Dreschel too, who finds smooth transitions between the different timelines we witness. I had the chance to see this at Catharsis Bites a few months ago and love how it progressed, while keeping the same, simple concept behind it. I love the writing, two characters with conscious goals, and an objective perspective that does not take sides for either character. The acting is incredible – both Spencer Weitzel and Callie Ott knock it out of the park with the way they take the satirical (albeit metaphorical) so seriously. You will find yourself trying to figure out which side to take, and it is better than any courtroom drama you will see on TV.

Moments In Flight at The Broadwater

This show is a hidden gem of the Fringe Festival, Aidan O’Conner gives one of the funniest (and perhaps most touching) experimental shows all season. A talented performer who gives us nonstop laughs as she switches out between different characters on a flight. Audience interaction is heavy, and every seat will be laughing through the directions prompted by her. I have nothing bad to say about this, but just know that you are going into a show that is a character showcase.

Broke Bitch Got Rich at The Broadwater

Fun show! Personal story about Betsy Cox’s journey through a childhood of poverty in Louisiana and finding her way out in Hollywood, all while being undiagnosed with ADHD. Charming and full of laughs. As I was watching it, I could sense how rehearsed it was; it did not feel as though Betsy were talking to us, but reciting lines, at first. Then, as she flubbed a line about Taco Bell, she laughed it off, and joked about how it is 11PM and she’s feeling it! I felt that was the most genuine point of the whole piece because she got off script. But that is not to take away from how enjoyable the show was. A main theme had to do with trying to fit in different boxes and I liked the style in which the staging allowed her to explore this theme. Anyways, it’s 1 AM right now and I’m tried. I will complete this one tomorrow.
