Tales of a Reluctant World Traveler - Randy Ross

Reviewed By Barbara Dooley

Fringe Reviewer

Somerville, MA-based artist Randy Ross entertains Fringe audiences with an “innocent abroad” take on his 2006 adventures and misadventures during a four-month-four-continent trip spanning the globe.

 

His one-hour performance combines story-telling, a slide show which does not last as long as the ones your friends put you through, and sardonic kvetching about himself and the situations he finds himself in.

 

“There’s no place like home” is a theme which runs through this entertaining piece, which is perhaps a slightly dissonant note as we venture out from the pandemic.

 

This is an entertaining way to spend an hour, especially for college-age adults and older.
