Edinburgh, Scotland. The reviews are coming in of SHOWSTOPPER and I’m happy to report that people are loving my one woman show! (It’s a tongue-in-cheek parody of the life of struggling Hollywood actress reaching for the stars.)
I even had an official theatre critic from Scotland’s national paper, The Scotsman, write a real review! Super official. Below are a few excerpts:
The Scotsman Newspaper: SHOWSTOPPER
Gilded Balloon Teviot (Venue 14) until 28 August
…The Fringe is awash with self-possessed young performers convinced of their own talent but Isabel Klein is different in that she is more convinced of it than most and on less apparent evidence too. To be clear: that’s Isabel, the character in this charmingly awkward self-consciously self-aggrandizing one-woman show. Klein, the performer is already a pretty successful American actress with a pretty impressive collection of screen credits – commercials mainly but a Lifetime movie too… Klein is such a charming stage presence that you can’t help but root for her and hope that she – and Isabel – succeed. Rory Ford
So that was awesome, thank you, Rory! Even better, audience members are having a great time.
Jack writes: “Showstopper is easily my favourite show of The Fringe! Extremely funny, well written, and fantastically performed. Isabel Klein really can do it all! I’ve been back to see it several times because it’s just that good, but don’t take my word for it, go and see it for yourself!”
Hannah writes: “My favourite show at the Fringe!! I’ve seen it more times than I’m willing to admit. Isabel Klein can do anything (excl. backflip), she’s sensationally funny and is great at working the crowd!”
Izzy writes: “Amazing show – loved it! She’s defo a star!! X”
Caroline writes: “Determined attempt to show an American/Californian wannabee in a satirical role. She throws herself into the idea with full force with lots of audience connection.”
THANK YOU, THANK YOU EVERYBODY!
