2026 Edmonton International Fringe Theatre Festival

What a lovely lovely show. This hidden gem of the fringe ended up being one of my favourites this summer. The setup is minimalistic with Ranee sitting in a chair amongst a charming backdrop of props. But that’s all that is needed , as this is a perfect example of “less is more.” Ranee is the star here and she truly shines in it! Her tale is an engaging wild ride of highs and lows with an array of tenderness , laughter and even a bit of sexiness too! The show was told with so much charm, positivity and levity that I couldn’t not leave the theatre with a smile. This show also had the most moving ending bow/ curtain call I’ve probably ever seen in a theatre show. Highly recommend!

A Never-Ending Story

I was unfortunately quite disappointed by this show. Kristen is charming and has an important story to tell, however it was hindered by an incredibly poor execution. This show was sloppy, poorly edited and under rehearsed. Most of the jokes were meandering with no punch line. To fight off my boredom, half way through the show I started to count how many times she said the word "like" which was well over 100.
