Everything a solo Fringe show should be!
It takes a very gifted actor to write and perform a solo Fringe show, and Duck has definitely done just that! You will laugh, you will possibly shed a tear, and you will re-examine your own philosophy and assumptions.

Amazing show!
What do you get from the two best Fringe companies in Minnesota? An amazing production of course! Chilling, well acted and written, and definitely a must-see!

Show: Mother Courage Bear and Her Children
Venue: Southern Theater
Well done, but for a limited audience
I feel like this type of humor is for a somewhat limited audience. I definitely appreciated the amazing acting and writing, and I laughed at parts, but also, this sort of existential humor isn't really my favorite, so keep that in mind when deciding to go!
Company: Melancholics Anonymous
Show: A Girl Scout’s Guide to Exorcism
Venue: Rarig Center Arena
Entertaining!
Really funny and entertaining show!
Company: Jamie Campbell Creative
Show: Big Dad Energy

Funny stand-up
Pretty funny standup show with just a few minor so/so spots. If you are a parent or simply like in-your-face standup comedy, you will like this show. A couple minor critiques for the artist: 1) Tower of Terror is in Hollywood Studios. 2) Just because people are free at 5:30 on a Monday doesn't mean they don't have a worthwhile job. Many people work hours other than 9-5.

Masterful solo show from Les!
Les is an amazing storyteller; I've seen pretty much all of his fringe shows in multiple cities, and I have loved every minute of it. This show is not only compelling and interesting, but relatable to many of us (especially if you have tried searching for your family roots). A must see!
