What the actual heck. This was hilariously bad. You had an unfunny creepy clown who laughed scarily at every horrendous joke he made, an awkward host that kept talking about depression with vulnerable audience members, and a vulgar comedienne who asked an audience member to put a condom on a baby dolls head (what a pedo). She ended up shouting and being rude to an audience member for not complimenting her incestuous show where she compared babies to penises and gyrated with a baby hanging out of her crotch. Only positive was a touring magician who featured only for exposure of his showcase (I bet he was shocked at the misfits around him). In summary the show was a fiasco where the audience felt uncomfortable. This felt like being locked in an asylum. But at least I’ve got another funny story to tell people.

Starts late, ends early. One host that talks two much and two acts in between. Might be fun if you're drunk. Sets the bar so low it gives anyone permission to go on stage at Fringe.

Fun, high energy way to end the evening and see samples of a half dozen shows around Fringe. Would go again.
