If you were following the Fringe coverage, you already know that I surprised myself by liking One Woman Show a lot. So did a lot of other people. I figured since it was the patron's pick, and managed to get one of the much coveted 'Best of the Fringe' spots and opens tonight at Diesel Playhouse , that it was worth re-visiting. So, why did people like it?

It's a good question. One Woman Show is a parody of one-woman shows, written by three men with a man playing the Eileen , the 'woman' who's show it is. Sounds a bit scary, doesn't it? When I first read about this show I rolled my eyes and figured it was going to be painful. Happily, the show proved me wrong.

Well, another Fringe Festival has come and gone. But like every year, there are a few shows that will go on to bigger things. In 1999, there was the Drowsy Chaperone. In 2002, Job: The Hip Hop Musical got all the buzz. Last year gave us the Gladstone Variations and An Inconvenient Musical.

And in 2008, we have The Christian Republican Fundraiser in Dayton Tennessee. I reviewed this show during the Fringe and loved it. But since Christian Republican Fundraiser is playing next week as part of Diesel Playhouse's "Best of the Fringe", I thought I'd tell you a bit more about what makes this show so good.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do with myself this week, I'll have to re-learn what life is like with the luxuries like sleep. But, I'm here to tell you, sleep is a small price to pay for the excitement of Fringe.

I was talking with my good friend yesterday, a veteran of many a Fringe performance. I asked him: with 150+ shows and 29 venue, is it possible to see everything?

"No. But you can try."

Indeed. And try we might, with only two days to go.

Well, it's crunch time now folks. Only three days left to see dozens of innovative and occasionally bizarre shows at the 2008 Fringe.

And while you're out there desperately cramming as much theatre into 72 hours as you can, remember to show the Fringe volunteers a little love. It's hard work, but there wouldn't be a festival without them.
