The Six Fringe Shows We Wanna See This Year!

Summer is full swing and in sweaty studios across Manhattan ART is being made. Whether you like pieces that are long, or pieces that make you cry (or neither and you're NOT an artist) here are some of the shows we are SO excited to see at Fringe this summer!*

1. Weekend at Bernie Sanders's: Bernie Sanders is dead! But that won’t stop him (and his loyal band of Bernie Bros) from keeping his campaign for president alive! This madcap comedy asks (and definitively answers) the big questions about our democracy in just 45 minutes of HILLarity! But we won't TRUMPet our own horn! We're just CRUZin to victory!

2. The Adventures of Moose Knuckle and Camel Toe: Follow the amazing escapades of married superhero duo, Moose Knuckle and Camel Toe! Going through a rough patch, can they overcome their differences to stop the evil Dr. Cumbersnatch? A classic battle of the sexes!

3. Clam House Confessions: When four women find themselves locked in a sex dungeon, what will they reveal and what will they keep hidden? Told in four interweaving monologues, Clam House Confessions aims to break down barriers by showing the strong females within us all.

4. O.P.H.E.L.I.A.: Stands for Everything: In her one woman show Cassandra Kempt (MFA YALE REP, PhD RSC, Professor Emeritus Moscow Art Theatre, BFA University of West Florida) combines Ophelia’s speeches with actual news reports from the Gaza Strip to create a portrait of lives in struggle. Thanks to an exception from the Fringe Festival, the show will be given a special nine hour slot.

5. Matt and Ben II: Jennifer Strikes Back Matt and Ben are back and this time they're all grown up! But with great power comes great responsibility...Will they be able to resist the greatest temptation of all: THE HOT NANNY?? (**Please note: Matt and Ben II:Jennifer Strikes Back is not produced or related in any way to Mindy Kaling, Brenda Whithers, Matt Damon or Ben Affleck).

6. The Boob Play: A Musical Who doesn't love a great pair of hooters? Better yet, who doesn't love guys objectifying them with songs such as "Knock, Knock, Knock. Who's There? Titties!" and "Jumbo Magumbos No. 5".
