Charles II: Living Libido Loca
★★★★☆ Historical frivolity

The Long Goodbye Bye Bye
★★★☆☆ Ludicrous
The Long Goodbye Bye Bye, from Pasuz Productions at Laughing Horse @ Freddy’s for the Fringe’s last week, will never win any awards for profundity. However, its willingness to be completely stupid in search of a laugh is extremely likeable.

★★★☆☆ Sweet

1902
