I usually have a favorite show at the Fringe and this year it was no contest. My friend Audrey Crabtree, a gifted comic actress, has developed a character, Deenie Nast. Deenie is a former great star of Hollywood and the New York stage (possibly over the last century) who still loves her public and won't let go of her fans or her fondness for booze and pills. Check this video for the backstory: https://youtu.be/pbRn_6EXaXI
In Saturday's late night show, far past my usual bedtime, she staggered out of a wardrobe trunk and regaled the audience with stories and musical numbers. She's getting on in years, of course, and has a coterie of male nurses she recruited on Tinder to keep her propped up and supplied. The set has as many dangling pill bottles as corks on the brim of an Australian bushman's hat. This was fall out of your seat funny and we will see more of it, including the wet part..
