Faster than the Speed of Dating – Speedy Show, Quirky Concept

This show is only half an hour long. It makes for a quick, light, and fun revitalization between your various Fringe activities.

I’m talking about body language. Body language is just as important as (if not more important than) what you wear or what you say.

Buy Me Dinner First: A Rollicking Good Time

Jam-packed with funny characterizations, party music and entertaining videos, Buy Me Dinner First is an all-around good time.

This sketch comedy show performed by a tight troupe of actors is uproariously funny and fun. If you’re looking to laugh, search no further. The actors work well together and really know how to connect to the audience to take us along with them. Actor/creator/writer Dylan Archambault, in particular, has a huge and captivating presence and knows how to bring it. The house was packed when I went, and the audience was in stitches throughout the show.
