My third-last show on the final day of Fringe was Every Fringe Show You've Ever Seen All At Once, and I genuinely had no idea what to expect.

Whatever I thought this show was going to be... it completely exceeded it.

The pacing was spot on. It moved at lightning speed when it needed to, slowed down just enough to let the jokes and moments land, and never overstayed its welcome. It was organized chaos in the absolute best way.

And then there was... the penis monster.

I can honestly say I did not see that coming. Its first appearance absolutely broke both the audience and the cast. The laughter was so infectious that it became one of those magical Fringe moments where everyone in the room is trying to recover before the show can continue.

The whole production was clever, hilarious, and wonderfully self-aware. It perfectly captures the wonderfully bizarre experience that is Fringe theatre while still standing on its own as an incredibly funny show.

After seeing it, I completely understand why it earned a Patron's Pick. It's smart, ridiculous, endlessly entertaining, and one of those shows that reminds you exactly why Fringe is so much fun.
