Mac Dale: “The story seems to lack cohesion in its point of view. If you are like this reviewer, you come to the Fringe for just this type of show! The characters are all well defined and have their own voice, and it feels like the performers are bringing a big piece of themselves to their multiple roles.”

Erin Murray: “I think there is a lot of potential in the material he has written, and with the right audience it could be a hit. There is still a steep learning curve for this freshly-minted comedian, and I am interested to see where he goes next.”
Barb Popel: “If you are a history buff, a feminist, a fan of science fiction, a mathematician or computer programmer, or just someone who would like to meet two fascinating geniuses of the nineteenth century, then be sure to see Shelley and Lovelace Never Met.”

“Are you doing okay?” It’s a question we ask the people that we care about all the time, but when was the last time you felt like you could answer honestly?
Bruce Burwell: “Imagine if a burlesque, a cabaret, and a circus act walked into a bar and decided to join forces to put on a show. This might very well be the show that they came up with.”
Erin Murray: A different group of comedians takes the stage for each performance to spend an hour telling their best completely-made-up-on-the-spot jokes. Lifshitz has recruited a talented crew of some of Ottawa’s favourite comics to take the stage with him.
Sam Woods: All Request Radio’s improvised nature will keep you on the edge of your seat, asking yourself questions like “How did they come up with that?”, “Are you sure this is improv?” and even “What’s Velvet doing after this? Can we hang out!?”
Sam Woods: Always Because: The Adventures of Maggie and Meghan is an intimate look into a relationship on fire, barreling recklessly towards the brink of utter collapse and sheer destruction… just kidding. They’re actually very in love.
