    Cincy Fringe 2023: Kat’s Reviews

    Filled with raunchy and relatable giggles, the audience is taken on a wild ride through the formative experiences of Bennett’s life from his early years to his “big break”. Just in time for Father’s Day, it is a raucous treat reminding us that “ordinary people can live extraordinary lives.” REMAINING PERFORMANCE: 6/16 at 8:45pm

    Cincy Fringe 2023: Remaining Reviews

    This is a strong show, well structured. It is made even better by the incredible talents of Dylan Shelton and Ellyn Broderick.  They know timing, they know levels, they understand physical humor.  Both are professional, and know how to do just enough with a look or a shrug to fully connect with an audience.

    Cincy Fringe 2023: Kat’s Reviews #3

    With a subtitle like “A Hopeful Tale of Heroin, Hooking, and Happiness”, the audience knows right off the bat this offering will be quite the ride.

    Cincy Fringe 2023: Alan’s Reviews #2 of 2

    The Cincinnati Fringe is establishing a higher bar for its productions. Under the leadership of Katie Hartman, Cincinnati Fringe has really stepped up its game by producing shows which are solid and engaging.

    Cincy Fringe 2023: Christy’s Reviews #2

    Cincy Fringe 2023 Reviews by Christy Carson With a few days off for OCTAFest rehearsals, I saw some solid mid-week shows on June 7 and 9. In one way or another, each show I saw had a similar message about empathy and caring for one another. Sometimes all it takes is listening and understanding others,…

    Cincy Fringe Reviews 2023: Liz #3

    One of my top shows so far is “Who’s Afraid of Winnie the Pooh”–a brilliant and clever mashup of the silly old bear and Piglet with Albee’s cutting and perverse game playing George and Martha.

    Cincy Fringe: 2023 Ariel’s Reviews

    Cincy Fringe Festival is ultimately a celebration of new and exciting theatrical works where you’ll experience a roller coaster of cathartic emotions. The artists and their artistry should be celebrated. Happy Fringing!

    I Highly Recommend”Modern Beings” for those who think they know what Fringe “should” be–as this is a perfect example.

    Cincy Fringe 2023: Liz Eichler’s Reviews #2

    You will like all four shows! “Heart Ripped Out…” is my favorite Fringe show so far. My husband and son want to get to “Dad (Hates) Jokes,” because they laughed so hard with Jon Bennett last year. I might bring a tween friend (or my mother-in-law) to “Happy Go Lucky.” And I want to tell…

    The four shows I saw Saturday had similar themes: identity and belonging, but in very different ways.

    Cincy Fringe Festival 2023: Alan’s Reviews

    Toonkel’s performance is polished and has touches of the personal; as an audience member, you can feel her care of animals and that makes for a unique angle to take for a magic show. I can’t reveal too much more of the show without giving away any spoilers. However, this show came as a complete…
