Two of Orlando Fringe’s biggest breakout hits return for one hilarious evening during Fringe Favorites at Dr. Phillips Center, coming to Alexis & Jim Pugh Theater on September 10!

Against Her Wishes is a semi-improvised, musical, comedic and irreverent farewell that invites audiences to grieve, laugh and celebrate. How to Play Guitar (Poorly) features beloved Orlando musician and actor Chase Padgett in a solo comedic cabaret exploring his lifelong relationship with music through story, song and a few unforgettable improv moments made up on the spot.

Orlando Fringe is the longest-running fringe in the United States, and has long been on my list of fringe festivals to attend. Sadly, my lottery number has never been pulled (does anyone have a hankie?), but I do keep a regular eye on the festival. I’m thrilled to give my top picks of this year’s festival. While I have to narrow down my picks, I’m gonna have some bonus picks (because you deserve it and I love you).

To see the full list, visit the What the Fringe?! Blog, link in bio.

The debut of the first one woman show yours truly has ever attempted. This spring please help me properly honor the only mother I’ve ever had, Janet. This is a mostly improvised, pretty immersive, hopefully comedic show that has singing. ME SINGING. (It’s not a musical. Don’t worry.) Ticket sales open soon. Save the date…. If people don’t come to this… I’ll die. taken in Orlando Shakes by @emilyfontano
