OTR Community Church
Over-the-Rhine

Treat yourself to an explosive release of physical comedy, music, and candid confession by entering THE FAINTING ROOM. This raucous show explores the ideas behind the historical phenomenon of “female hysteria,” celebrating self love and vibrators and rejecting the idea that it is better to be unhappy with someone or something that doesn’t fit than to be alone. 60 minutes.

Art Academy Auditorium
Over-the-Rhine

Jim Loucks returns to the Cincy Fringe with his new rollicking solo performance. Based loosely on his childhood, The Biscuiteater is told in Loucks’ distinctive Southern storytelling style with songs and humor. Granddaddy was his hero, a big man with a bigger personality, haunted by demons from his days as Chief of Police in small-town Georgia. A moving tribute to an imperfect hero. Loucks’ previous show Cemetery Golf was a “Critic’s Pick” by the Cincinnati CityBeat. 60 minutes.
