ON THE FRINGE: Wawapalooza 5: Under Destruction

POSTED: Monday, September 5, 2011, 12:20 PM

There are as many misses as hits among the two short films and 13 sketches that make up the fifth installment of Wawapalooza, but not everyone will be in agreement over what works and what doesn’t. The difference between what tickles you and what leaves you scratching your head may well come down to which targets hit closest to home: self-righteous parents or self-righteous college kids, abusive baseball fans or weepy Patrick Swayze fans, clueless Mac users or lame Facebook friends. A good rule of thumb: the more twisted the premise, the bigger the payoff.

Through Sept. 17, 8 p.m., $15, Society Hill Playhouse, 507 S. Eighth St. MORE INFO HERE.

    Know that this sketch group is completely stealing their material. I worked with them for 3 years as a performer and tweaking the scripts. The latest installment (Wawapalooza 5) stole verbatim from my on-line video blog and used my material in their show. Someone even did a terrible impression of me reciting my own material. Their unearned egos have gone to their heads and they're running on short, not shorti hogies!
