Kenny Goes to Sleep by Kenny Gray 3 Sentence Review: 1. It’s a one-man comedy show composed of 10 vignettes in which Kenny transforms into the different characters that comprise his dreams 2. The performance is the spiritual child of Chris Farley and Tim Robinson, and it sort of feels like you’re watching an hour long Saturday Night Live audition tape (in a good way) 3. The musical transitions are very funny, but some of the sketches felt like underdeveloped, albeit potential-filled, ideas Verdict: I’d recommend it to any fan of vintage SNL-esque humor Performance Aug 9-10, 12-17, 19-24 at 16:05 Greenside Riddles Court Tickets: tickets.edfringe.com/whats-o… #greenside #edfringe #kenny #snl #edfringe24 @GreensideVenue @edfringe

Boiler Room Six: A Titanic Story By Tom Foreman 3 Sentence Review: 1. Boiler Room Six is a one-man show telling the story of Frederick Barrett — a stoker on the Titanic — during his last few hours aboard 2. Foreman’s show is well acted, directed, and choreographed but the script hits very similar notes to the beloved James Cameron film 3. I wish Foreman had taken the opportunity to further develop characters introduced early in the show and/or fundamentally told a story beyond the one we already know Verdict: Good option for history buffs and fans of the film Performances: Aug 10, 12-17, 19-24 at 12:40 Greenside at George Street Lime Studio Tickets: tickets.edfringe.com/whats-o… @tomcforeman @edfringe @GreensideVenue #edfringe #titanic

Lost… Found by K. Lorrel 3 Sentence Review: 1. In his one-man show Lorrel tells his life story while weaving in snippets of the wonderful music that’s helped him get through some exceptionally traumatic decades 2. Lorrel doesn’t seem to be performing as much as is he rawly recounting his trauma in a fashion that moved several audience members to tears 3. When I attended, Lorrel earned an enthusiastic standing ovation Verdict: A great option for those looking for a raw memoir Performances: Aug 9-12, 14-19, 21-26 at 13:30 Assembly Roxy - Outside (Venue 139) @thebarrowgroup @edfringe @AssemblyFest #edfringe #barrowgroup #lost #found

Sophie’s Surprise 29th Birthday 3 Sentence Review: 1.It’s an acrobatic cabaret with a joyful birthday-party plot and hysterical audience engagement 2.This is the MOST FUN I’ve had at any show this month; the stunts were flawless and had me involuntarily blurting “Oh My God” and “Holy Shit!” 3.My friends and I debated whether or not we found the acrobatics more or less impressive than Olympic gymnastics, and we agreed that in other venues these tickets could easily sell for £100+ Verdict: Spectacular. I’ll be going multiple times. @edfringe @circusK @drucripps @theveganacrobat @nathanredwood #circus #acrobatics #edfringe #sophies29 #sophiessurprise #edfringe24

Woodrow by Marissa Landy 3 Sentence Review: 1. Woodrow is a one-woman show following the casting calls of a loony, 70-something, wannabe actor as he sings and dances through auditions 2. Even while she's sporting a fake mustache, you can tell @marissalandy is a talented singer and performer 3. I’d happily give Woodrow the role❤️, but I’d primarily recommend the show to younger audiences Verdict: A good option for parents looking for a laugh with youngsters Performances Aug 6-12, 14-25 at 15:15 C ARTS | C venues | C aurora - studio Tickets: tickets.edfringe.com/whats-o… #EdFringe24 #edfringe #edfringe2024 #woodrow #edfringecomedy #comedy #onewoman @edfringe

Influenced by Marc Twinn 3 Sentence Review: 1. Influenced follows the journey of Erik, an insecure nerd, as he gets caught up in the digital “manosphere” and eventually devolves into a misogynistic pseudo intellectual 2. You’re watching the origin story of a villain rather than a superhero, and the topic feels salient amidst the ongoing culture wars 3. While Erik developed through the show, too often Twinn’s portrayal felt one dimensional, as he repeatedly hit the same panicky/anxiety-filled notes Verdict: A promising premise and script Performance: Aug 6-10 20:45 @GreensideVenue Riddles Court - Pickle Studio Tickets: tickets.edfringe.com/whats-o… #EdFringe24 #edfringe #edfringe2024 @edfringe

Girlhood by @Tiegbyrne 3 Sentence Review: 1. In Girlhood 3 women at 3 different New Year’s Eve parties find themselves reflecting on what it means to be a mother. 2. This is the best show I’ve seen at Fringe in a long time; the writing, choreography, and acting are all excellent. 3. Girlhood may be the breakout show this year, and @livh011 delivers a profoundly moving monologue as Nancy. Verdict: This is genius. Don't miss it. Performance Aug 6 - 10, 12 -17 Greenside @Riddles Court - Thistle Theatre Tickets: tickets.edfringe.com/whats-o… @edfringe @GreensideVenue @kathrynlincolnx @GirlhoodThePlay #edfringe #girlhood

A Transcriber’s Tale by Joanna Parson 3 Sentence Review: 1. In her one-woman show, Joanna Parson plays guitar, sings ballads, and tells stories of her time transcribing celebrity interviews, the OJ trial, and Rudy Giuliani speeches as a New Yorker in the 90s 🏙️🎸 2. Endlessly lovable, Joanna carries herself effortlessly and authentically; she makes you feel like you’re sitting around a campfire listening to an old friend recount a memorable decade while strumming a guitar 3. I want a time machine and a pair of square heels, so I can experience 90s New York with Joanna and watch her tell off her boss #girlboss Verdict: Great for New Yorkers hungry for a slice of home Performances: Aug 4-11, 13-18, 20-26 Gilded Balloon Patter House - Bothie (Venue 24) @JoannaParsonNYC @edfringe @Gildedballoon #edfringe #reviews #gildedballoon #fringe
