August is just around the corner (hello August!), and that means it’s Fringe NYC time.

Fringe NYC is that time of year when picking what show to see in New York becomes even harder, if that was even possible. Here are a few shows that I’ve heard about that are in the Fringe that could be awesome:

• All Hail the Great Serpent- The merciless sketch group Murderfist is attacking the Fringe with their unique brand of a horrifying comedy. For anyone who doesn’t know Murderfist- they don’t just take risks, they are a risk. Think of their sketch comedy show like the trojan horse- it looks like a comedy show, but then they come out and attack you. I’m excited to see what they come up with for the fringe.

• Hidden Fees*- The Moscow-art trained company Studio Six is presenting a newly translated comedy about life in contemporary Russia. I’ve seen the work of a couple people in the show, and have meant to check out the company’s work, as the shows they do seem awesome, but have yet to do so. I’m looking forward to this one!

• Wish We Were Here- I’ve been hearing nothing but good things about solo-performance artist Michael Phillis. His latest show is about a slacker who is trapped forever with a genie because he wished for infinite wishes. Magic! Who doesn’t like magic? It sounds like it should be a bit of fun!
