Fringe

No, not this kind.



This kind.

I've been hard at work mounting "Isn't it SARCASTIC" once more for the Philly Fringe. Something's getting mounted and I think it's me.

I haven't performed since May and now it's 4 months later. I'd played the show for two weeks then so I got to know it well. But now there's been a big hiatus and who the hell knows what will come out. I like to work in an improvisatory way. I like playing to the audience. But any play, especially a one-man show, needs to follow those pesky things like light and sound cues. I go off on a riff and then suddenly I'm not only driving the lighting guy nuts, but if I get off the track, who knows where my balloon will touch down. Makes for an interesting show every night.

I've done legit theatre, I've done cabaret shows where you sing a bunch of songs. But I think my talents are best displayed in a forum where things are very loose. Then I can do my own Kathy Griffin. "Life on the P-List" ("P" for Philly...or any other "p-word" you can think of. And while there are a handful of Philly people who are getting skewered, ya run out of those pretty quick. I used my tales of celebs I met growing up (see posts below) in this piece -- so after this autobiographical show I'll just have to move to new victims.

So watch out!
