Laughed So Hard I Cried
Abracadabra!
God is back to work her floral power suited magic.
The show this year felt like the antidote to the dumpster fire that has been 2026.
I'm a teacher, and some of the jokes about the current generation of kids had tears streaming down my face, and my stomach hurt with how hard I was laughing. God went off script a bit, but I didn't mind. The off the cuff jokes were some of the funniest of the night.
The heartfelt moments felt earned, as they always do, and left me with something to carry with me.
The themes of my Fringe 2026 have seemed to be magic, historical queer people, and hilarious jokes about things that have no business being funny, and God is a Scottish Drag Queen somehow managed to hit all three this year.
