This was a hilarious look at people that have some view points that might just be like someone you know. Liz was extremely funny and I laughed my a** off!

Liz did a great job providing humor with an edge of social commentary with personalities across the political spectrum. The final character was particularly pointed and effective. Thanks for some great laughs!

Lz Woolworth gives us a bakery's half dozen characters with, let's just say, a few issues. Most work well but a couple needs it of work.

Gut busting truths!

Oh, my goodness, I don't think I've laughed that hard in a long time!!! Liz is an extremely gifted artist who can easily see the world as we all SHOULD, but most of us don't. She moved effortlessly through a colorful cast of characters, each one just as comedic and/or intriguing as the one before. And, we all know them!!! I could hardly wait to hear each line. Great physical expressions, fabulous writing, awesome music. A completely delightful experience that I did not want to end. Laughed my ass off!! Honey, you need to come back to the Twin Cities more often!! Thank you, Lizzie!!!! xoxoxoxo

More comedy at The Huge

Woodworth inhabits a variety of characters in solo vignettes on parenting, consumerism, religion and addiction. Nothing terribly unique here, but some clever writing, with a committed performance.

Great show, a must see

The characters Liz embodies are edgy and hilarious; my face still hurts from laughing. While the comedy aspect is immediate, there are undertones of social commentary that everyone can relate to. All in all, a fantastic show.

Unlikeable

Literally nothing was enjoyable about this production, from making the audience sit silently in low lighting listening to a stupid song to tired characters without satire.

I take that back - the beer I had from the bar was enjoyable.

Well, they WERE really annoying

...so there's that. Not really sure where the satire was. Couldn't make it through all seven.

Wonderful show! Laughed all through it. Particularly loved the character with the "flat S". That one should be posted on YouTube so that it can go viral and we could all rest easy knowing that the anti-gay marriage amendment would fail in our state! Liz spares no one in her show, and we all know her characters because they live in our neighborhoods and work beside us, and maybe even are in some of our families. Don't miss this show; only a couple of chances left!

SOOO Catty

In a good way.

This show had me enrapt since the beginning. I really enjoyed how the aspects Liz pulled from everyday characters needed no exaggeration.

fearless

I could so have a beer with this woman!
Fantastic in parts, with great surprise twists in several characters. Liz is fearless, which I loved. Starts strong and hilarious, falters a bit in the middle (TBI girl didn't work for me at all, and the celebrity cowgirl was confusing until her last zinger; great concept, but could be much stronger & clearer). I was left thinking it just needed more time and honing. Glad I went - sparks of genius (American bags, small armpit animals!), and ends perfectly.

Liz Woodworth moved quickly and seamlessly between her characters, and I was immediately drawn into each one. I found most of the characters general enough to think, "I've seen that type of person" while still having idiosyncrasies that made me say, "I've come across someone who does exactly that". She had my full attention throughout this humorous and insightful work and I would say it's a “must see” at this year’s festival.

Fascinating!

Liz has the great ability to draw you in and make you feel like you're a part of the conversation. This play is a must-see and the hour flew by. Thanks for the good laughs Liz!

Especially enjoyed the restaurant character. Had to laugh, as it reminded me a bit of myself. And I know I won't be alone on this. Funny and insightful show!

You should see this!

Liz Woodworth has a hit here - funny, irreverent and a little edgy.

Tour de Force
by David Trudeau
Rating 4 stars
Ms Woodworth comes on with her best and leaves me wanting more. She delivers character after character with keen satire and energetic right on delivery, each episode with a moral point to make. The "aphasia" episode fell flat for me, however. Word substitutions induced by the misfortune of traumatic brain injury are as "funny as a crutch." She redeemed herself with Mrs God.

Enjoy a good laugh

I thought that the show did a beautiful job helping me to examine many hot issues facing us today in the US/Minnesota in a light funny manner. I LOVED the hour spent listening to this one person performance. (Well, one person performance if you don't count all of the imaginary people also present!) Don't miss this show. Fer shur.
