We Might Have Revealed a Threesome Tonight

This solo show was complete insanity. From the audience participation to her witty humour and charisma, Diane Jorge had the audience roaring and reacting with every quick line and joke. Having the opportunity to see the opening night show at midnight, the crowd was immediately awoken and engaged by her character.

Opening with a fantastic intro from our host, Maria, the room was immediately swept into a live telenovela inspired show. Though she was performing to the group of us, we felt seen and included as the story progressed. The improvisation in this show was ridiculously good, her memory when recalling audience cues was perfect, everything she said had the room in tears. Her use of simple props to play multiple characters was seamless and creative, and intentional.

This show was so original, funny, and such a good time. What an incredible way to end the night.
