The Fringe is one of my favorite festivals in the city because every year offers new, amazing and exciting experiences that will stick with you. It also brings money directly to the artists putting on the show, a very important element which is hugely important and a big part of their messaging.
In the past few years I have attended the Fringe I have seen everything from uproarious comedy shows, improvised plays, musicals and dramas. There is a little bit of everything and with so much to choose from it's unlikely that you will not find anything that strikes your fancy. The local weeklies also do an amazing job of covering the shows and pointing out the hits and misses. Several particularly inventive past performances include a play acted entirely within a car (obviously to a limited audience size) and a play performed on the back alley between the two Honest Ed wings.
One thing that pleases me particularly is the addition of Comedy Bar as a venue for the lineup, which I hope will guarantee a larger focus on the truly amazing comedic talent the city has up on offer, and lend a little more legitimacy to what is often considered a less important art form.
