Seth Kubersky's 20 most anticipated Fringe shows (in alphabetical order)

Paul Strickland: Jokes, Songs, a Hat, Etc.

This Kentucky-based comedian's brand of sculpted stand-up has stood out in the past, and now he's adding skillful singing and strumming to his set.

Skill Focus: Burlesque Does Fringe

A last-minute cancellation allowed my favorite local nerdy exotic entertainers into the festival, and they'll be undressing in a different fandom-inspired theme at each show.

Theme Park Diva: The Musical

Prolific piano man John deHaas (Halloween the Musical) has been backstage at almost every attraction. He put his insights into this satire, which he co-wrote and composed; it was first a hit 15 years ago.

Voice Activated

I first saw the award-winning sonic wizards of Toxic Audio at Fringe a decade or so ago; it's great having them back where their success started.

The Worst Show in the Fringe

Backstage critic-bashing from first-class comics Eric Pinder, Will Hagaman and Meghan Moroney, and the co-writer of last year's My Monster who wasn't on MST3K.
