Fresh off a recent trip to the Cincinnati Fringe Festival, we dive into Blake's abiding appreciation for Fringe. Revisiting four Festivals, we discuss what works (community building! walkable venues!) and what doesn't (too much tech! misaligned expectations!).

Shows Blake saw at Cincy Fringe:

• Locusta's School for Assassins - Samantha Joy Weil
• A Hollywood Horror Story - Ingrid Garner
• Champagne Dreams - 3 Sticks
• Frontier So Far - Justin Dodd & george mcconnell
• Colonial Circus-History, Clown Style - Two2Mango
