Two days after seeing it, even just thinking about this one brings tears to my eyes.  The warning that <q>This show [&#8230;] might make some squeamish, especially if you are freaky about eyes<\/q> is well-heeded, but in no way are the <q>graphic medical descriptions<\/q> gratuitous.  Possibly the best show of the Fringe, and certainly the most affecting.<\/li>\r\n<li><cite class=\"title\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/poofyduvey\">Poofy du Vey<\/a> in &#8220;Burden of Poof&#8221;<\/cite>.  The titular clown is sweetly vulgar and completely charming&#8230; and I&#8217;d say that even without the above-mentioned public smooching. \ud83d\ude00<\/li>\r\n<li><cite class=\"title\">The Truth According to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.morroandjasp.com\/\">Morro and Jasp<\/a><\/cite>.  These clown sisters are equally smoochable, but unfortunately that&#8217;s not a part of their show.  Jury duty has never been so hilariously fun!<\/li>\r\n<li><cite class=\"title\">Self<\/cite>.  As I wrote to a friend, <q>It&#8217;s a ride&#8230; to where I&#8217;m not sure exactly, but it&#8217;s a fun one.<\/q>  (Maybe Woodstock?)<\/li>\r\n<li><cite class=\"title\">one tiny pink petal on blue roof in hard rain<\/cite> and <cite class=\"title\">A Time to Dance<\/cite>.  Two performances centered around movement; the former is best described as an experience, and the latter is an often-surprising biography of the performer&#8217;s great-aunt.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n<p>Thirty-four shows down, twenty left to go.
