Welcome to Sweden, Greg Poehler’s new show based on his actual experiences following his girlfriend to Sweden, is more cute than the laugh-out-loud comedy I was expecting. That said, it is really endearing and seems really sweet. It came to America and Canada after what I assume to be a successful run in Sweden. Poehler’s […]

Redheaded Stepchild (A+) It’s the queer I, Claudia; an earnest story of a 12-year-old boy’s navigation of his parents divorce, his six grade bully, his ‘different’ sexual and scholastic leanings, and, of course, his red hair. Redheaded Stepchild is a one-man show written and performed by Johnnie Walker. In it, Walker plays a young boy, […]
Valkyrie (B) I want to split this review in half. On one hand, I want to talk about Monique Renaud whose star turn in this contemporary version of the Norse myth of the valkyries is nothing short of mesmerizing.

Sean & Steven Run For Major (B+) As most Fringe goers know, it’s word of mouth more than any review that will get you out to see a show. Whatever they’re talking about in the fringe tent; that’s what you see. And I heard them talking about this laugh-out-loud-the-entire-show comedy. Ironically, this may be why […]
The Houston Texans, after putting on one of the worst regular season performances in NFL history, have no doubt had an eventful 2014 offseason so far. After ending last season on a dreadful 14-game losing streak, the Texans went into the 2014 NFL Draft with the first overall selection (thanks to that aforementioned losing streak). […]
