Now that I am working days, I have been able to enjoy the Fringe more often. My friends, Natasha and Gordie, are billetting a Fringe performer again this year. Natasha and I usually take in her houseguest's play as well as a few others.

For those of you who don't remember, this was last year's "foster performer" ...


... and this is this year's!


I find the second one especially ironic, if you know Natasha!!! She is definitely braver than me ... but despite the impression these photos give, she has had a good experience both summers.

Jesus in Montana: Adventures in a Doomsday Cult is a one man show written and performed by Barry Smith. He talks about how he hitchhiked to Montana to live with a man who claimed to be Jesus Christ.

I was both excited and afraid to meet this guy, but now that I have, he's just an average person ... who got sucked into a cult in the early 90s. Desert Storm ... Hypercolor ... Hammer pants ... who could blame the guy for getting confused???

While I could never fully shake the feeling that he was going to start passing out glasses of Kool-Aid, it is a good performance, and well worth the $10. My favorite line?

Moses was a murderer, but that didn't stop him from parting the Red Sea.
