Give me 15 minutes and I’ll give you Fringe!
The shortest play at the Hollywood Fringe this year can only be described by an equally short review.
Just Go!
The world’s worst hangover or was it food poisoning, none of us could really tell, turns into a what-the-hell-was-that, Twilight-zone-like brain flip as an average Joe takes a particularly strange journey to rid himself of the ghosts that plague him.
Hippopotamoidea!!! created by Dylan Wallace from last year’s Feast is entirely inventive, far out and so Fringe worthy hilarious that you really should not miss the opportunity to experience this completely experimental, dialog-free interlude. It’s such a non-commitment in time for a fun payoff, you’ll be kicking yourself to have missed the buzz.
Definitely one of our favs!
NOTE: This performance is pay what you can. Set your own price.
