“Overshare” is a show that shines a light on how messy, traumatic and painful life can be and how we operate in spite of it. It’s a show that shows us that a lot of painful experiences are in fact, universal and there is a beautiful heartbreak in that. In the hour of entertainment put forth, Rachel Ruecker proves herself to be endearing, funny, revelatory, open, self-deprecating, perseverant and painfully, uncomfortably honest. But this really why the show works; there is no pretentiousness, no weird for the sake of weird or nothing that is overblown just so that it can be viewed as more dramatic.

This is bar none, one of the most authentic, uncomfortable and enthralling things you will ever see at Fringe. It’s not solely comedic, it’s not solely tragic, it lay in the shallows of an unmistakable valley of raw humanity. You will laugh, you might tear up, and you might laugh at something no one else will. But that’s life and Rachel’s story is one that should be heard. See this while you can. She has a whole-ass theatre degree so by god, you should see her utilize it.
