Laughed So Hard I Cried

The best show I have seen at the Fringe Festival so far!

The whole cast was very strong and each skit did an amazing job of showcasing all their strengths. Every bit felt like a genuine collaborative project where every character got to be funny the ways they are funniest. It felt like a real labor of love in that way. The result was an incredible variety of jokes and immediately recognizable cast chemistry.

Everyone will laugh, maybe not all at the same time, but everyone will laugh.

The pace and length of skits kept the segments feeling snappy and the jokes felt much more punchy as a result. The fact that most every skit was a different length, I was always braced for impact and it pretty much always paid off. Its very easy to end up with 30 skits all about the same length with rapid fire skits (pun intended) but that did not happen here.

The mammogram bit, opening and closing skits, and house tour bits were personal highlights but the Chicago number was absolutely BRILLIANT.

I cannot recommend this show more! STOP READING THIS AND GO SEE IT
