See It Again

I've never seen a performer (fringe or otherwise) be able to connect with their audience as quickly and completely as Diane does - I've seen this show twice and would go again.

The energy, the drama, the wit - but most of the all, the pure gawdamn CHARISMA.

GO SEE IT

Want to see your life as a telenovela? Who wouldn’t? You are in good hands with this performer. No prior knowledge of telenovelas necessary. Hilarious, peppy, and (overly) dramatic in all best ways.

Laughed So Hard I Cried

Absolutely worth your time and money. Her use of props to denote characters was 100% consistent & each had personality and flair.

It was a midnight show and I left more energized than when I walked in the door.

We Might Have Revealed a Threesome Tonight

This solo show was complete insanity. From the audience participation to her witty humour and charisma, Diane Jorge had the audience roaring and reacting with every quick line and joke. Having the opportunity to see the opening night show at midnight, the crowd was immediately awoken and engaged by her character.

Opening with a fantastic intro from our host, Maria, the room was immediately swept into a live telenovela inspired show. Though she was performing to the group of us, we felt seen and included as the story progressed. The improvisation in this show was ridiculously good, her memory when recalling audience cues was perfect, everything she said had the room in tears. Her use of simple props to play multiple characters was seamless and creative, and intentional.

This show was so original, funny, and such a good time. What an incredible way to end the night.

Diane Jorge is a truly entertaining performer who had the audience laughing, poking each other, and gasping with her improvised telenovela LANGUAGE CLUB OF LOVE. At least six characters were embodied with different voices, body language, and a few simple props. The audience members whose answers to a few questions inspired the story seemed to be as amused as the rest of us at the preposterous tale.

Her ability to improvise is incredible, the whole show was very fun, without a doubt I want to see it again. Each show is completely different. Of course I gonna say all my friends to watch her show in particular all my latinos amigos.

I loved this show, how she developed the characters and I know I could go see every single one of her shows and they would all be hilarious and different every time. If you have the chance to see this one please go. 10/10 laughed so hard.
