    MORE FROM THE FRINGE: DON'T MISS BEING SALACIOUS

    I've been to three more shows at FringeNYC, and my Gothamist theatre cohort Mallory has posted another set of reviews today, including one from yours truly about a show you absolutely must not miss but don't have that many opportunities left to see.

    The Salacious Uncle Baldrick is one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time. It's a hilarious satire of 17th Century French farce with a modern sensibility. There were literally moments in this show that I couldn't stop laughing no matter how hard I tried. The writing is clever, the cast is fantastic -- and there are only two performances left, tomorrow and Saturday. The show I was at last night definitely still had tickets left, so I imagine the next two do as well, so check-it-out.

    And credit goes to whom it's due: with over 180 shows and limited time, as much as I've been trying to see a lot (10 shows in four days so far), I obviously had to pick-and-choose things that I felt either seemed promising, interesting or representative of the type of theatre the Fringe tries to promote. I don't know that I would have chosen to see The Salacious Uncle Baldrick had it not been for this post by Bex. She knows her funny!

    (The Gothamist post also includes reviews by Mallory of Amerika, The Metaphysics of Breakfast, The Suffrajets Present a Musical Seance and her own "Don't Miss" pick, God's Waiting Room.)
