This show, right here, is what Fringe is all about: complete silliness in all the best ways. It’s not often you honestly say you really laughed til you cried, but it’s no exaggeration with Motorboat 🛥️

What a concept, a performance, and an applaudable ability to recover from whatever the audience throws at her.

The improv elements make each performance unique, ensuring no 2 shows are ever the same. It truly shows McGlensey’s talent in her ability to adapt and take every audience suggestion in her stride!

Mel is a wonderful comedian and clown. So much fun was had in an hour that I was desperate to continue. Very immersive, and so much fun to be part of.
