Danielle was brilliant in her embodiment of her characters. Great fun!
Danielle can do it all! I laughed and felt tingly and drove home singing my favorite songs from the show. I’m so glad I saw The Greatest Garage Sale Ever on opening night because I can’t wait to see it again!
It is impossible to describe the beauty of this show. Hilarious, heartfelt, human. The melodies and lyrics of all the songs stay with you on the drive home and after. All of this is a testament to the creative power that is Danielle. Danielle is a star, and we are lucky enough to have a front row seat to her blazing talent! See this show! And sing along!
What is there to say? Amazing show. Such commitment to the characters and wonderful music. It’s hilarious and sweet and definitely worth your time.
Great show and creative characters! The mix of humor and music is great. Highly recommend.
Spent the night singing and laughing along with Danielle Ate the Sandwich. You will have your heart filled with joy and brush up on proper manners. She even gives examples of what not to do in your host’s guest bathroom. Thanks, Mary Ellen!
Danielle is a true talent. Fantastic character based comedy and great musical performances. I’m in awe! Go see it!
“The Greatest Garage Sale Ever” is an absolute gem! With beautifully crafted characters, the show features songs that will have you singing along and leave you with a smile. Danielle’s performance is a testament to her incredible talent, blending comedy and heartfelt messages effortlessly. This show is an unforgettable experience and a must-see at the festival.

Wonderful show! Danielle has us laughing, singing along, and reflecting on our internal struggles as she masterfully strums that ukulele and guitar. Your Fringe experience won’t be complete until you visit this Garage Sale!
Ohmygoodness, I couldn’t love this show anymore than I do.
Danielle Ate the Sandwich creates a perfect blend of comedy and heartfelt poignancy that provides a wholehearted, and full body laughter, experience. The attention to the smallest details throughout the show which makes it look seamless and effortless is hella impressive. Danielle writes lovely melodies with perfect lyrics that are delivered with a beautifully sublime voice and perfect comedic timing.
If you do anything for Fringe, and as Jer reminds us, You Can Do Anything, go see this show!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Danielle’s performance shines so brightly through the guises of the four fantastic characters she portrays in this show. Each character brings a unique personality to the stage that you cannot help but enjoy being in their company as they share their sincere, sweet, and humorous perspectives on the treasures they find at the garage sale in addition to the equally entertaining musical numbers.
A very talented actress who gives each character their own personality and energy.
Very well written.
I consider myself a fan of Danielle Ate the Sandwich so I expected this show to be good but wow! Her characters have so much depth. I saw bits of myself in all of them and just fell in love. I laughed through tears multiple times which is a sure sign of a quality performance. Bravo!
This was my favorite of all the shows I’ve seen so far. Danielle is brilliant and I loved all her wonderful characters.
Danielle was phenomenal! A bare bones stage with duel mics, ukulele and acoustic guitar for live music played by delightfully hilarious characters with soul and depth. All fun and games to take a turn and hit home with a heartwarming ode to all our inner child. This is a DONT MISS Show. 🐢
This show was so entertaining. Danielle does so many things well: songwriting, singing, guitar and uke playing, and of course acting. A hilariously subtle and intuitive show that left me feeling good inside!
Danielle is so incredibly talented and engaging. This show was amazing and fun!
Loved this show so much! Am a big fan of Danielle’s music but this exploration of characters and storytelling is so much fun! Definitely a highlight of Fringe!
This show is everything I want out of a solo Fringe show. Each of the characters are hilarious, but are layered with enough vulnerability to make us connect to them on a human level. The songs are catchy, fun, and poignant without ever being pretentious. Danielle has created something special here – a show filled with childlike wonder. She also sprinkles in the perfect amount of dark truth that makes the audience feel seen in their own humanity.
When I went to the show, several audience members were coming back for a second time because they loved the way Danielle’s performance made them feel. Put this one on your must see list. You’ll be glad you did.
“The Greatest Garage Sale Ever!” is bursting with stellar comedy, great songs, clever videos, and a whole lot of heart. Danielle Ate the Sandwich gives a masterful performance from start to finish with her four unique and fully realized characters. Don’t miss this fabulous display of Danielle’s physical comedy, insightful writing , and musical chops!

The live of show that makes your cheeks hurt from smiling so much and your heart warm and fuzzy. Danielle this show is a delight. Caught myself singing the eye roll song since I’ve seen the show.
Loved it! I was already a fan of Danielle Ate The Sandwich but now I’m smitten.
Huge fan of Danielle as a performer and a person, and her Fringe show does not disappoint! It’s funny and heartfelt and will improve your mood. Loved hearing her sing and embody some truly memorable characters. Go see this show!!!
This show was so thoughtfully executed and such a delight! I loved the combination of video and live performance as we were introduced to each character and then the item they select at the garage sale comes to life as the character comes onstage. Each character is so unique and different – it was fun getting to know each of them and I loved all the songs! I was so impressed with the quick changes Danielle did! Such a great show – don’t miss a chance to see this!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Danielle crafted an incredible look into the human experience. Her comedy stylings and commitment to her original characters is astounding and her lyricism is unmatched. She’s a great singer and an incredible comedian! If you haven’t seen this show, WHAT ARE YOU DOING???
Loved this show! And Danielle! And Beanie!
Danielle has crafted such an amazing look into the human experience. Her commitment to her original characters coupled with her inspiring lyrics had me laughing, contemplating and singing along. She is an amazing singer and comedian. If you haven’t seen this show, YOU GOTTA GO!
Bravo! I so enjoyed this show. So fun and inspiring. Loved the sing alongs. And each character is so well developed and well performed. I am in awe of Danielle’s talent!
Very funny show. Such a variety of characters all done by one person.
This show was masterfully put together! The songs were incredible and I laughed until I cried. Both myself and my husband left saying we’d love to come back and see it again!
The hardest decision you will face after this performance is deciding which character you loved the most. This is an incredibly crafted show. Four characters each have their own music, their own voices, and their own journeys and yet the whole thing comes together as one cohesive whole. I cannot recommend this comically genius and touchingly bittersweet show enough. All the stars!
This is a delightful show that will take you on a musical comedy journey you don’t want to miss! I loved the characters and songs, and especially when everyone sang along!! Super fun and well done!
The integration of video and live performance was good for providing some entertainment between character changes. The garage sale theme was well done. The first character was the best, the others seemed to need additional fleshing out, or just didn’t quite work right as presented. A few of Danielle’s songs were memorable. I won’t be forgetting ‘T-U-R-T-L-E’ anytime soon.
What a brilliant and dazzling star is Danielle! Her one-woman show is seamless: a vibrant fabric of adroit live performance threaded with pops of filmed genius, clever characters, and charming melodies. A cracking good show! 🤣🥳💗🎶
Danielle is a joy! Her characters will tickle your funny bone & tug at your heartstrings. Her comedic magnetism in this brilliantly executed has the whole pinging with positive energy. This show is a delight!
This show was a pure DELIGHT, fully realized in concept and beautifully detailed drawn characters.
Was I expecting this show to pull at my heartstrings? I did not. Did it? Why yes, yes it did and then some. Coupled with some truly delightful video interstitials/character intros, Danielle created some truly glorious, varied, and vivid three-dimensional characters that were easy to get lost in. I found myself clutching my heart, sitting on the edge of my seat, and laughing myself into stitches on more than one occasion and I CERTAINLY wanted to more.
If you find yourself at The Bird Theatre during Fringe, DO NOT MISS this show!
Delightful and insightful. An instant Fringe classic!
Exactly what we needed. Laughs but also good for thought. So much creativity and talent.
Go see this show while you still can!! Danielle is pure talent with the added gift of a keen sense of how to unite an audience over shared human experiences. Bravo!
Danielle’s show with her amazing characters had me laughing so hard my face hurt but also very touching parts that made you want to hug the characters. The flow from the garage sale video to the characters coming on stage with their items was a display of timing and creativity. With each character, they brought to life so much for everyone to relate to, whether it was humor for us all to escape our problems, remembering past experiences that brought us joy, sadness, encouragement to overcome whatever has happened, and the catchy music songs were an added bonus! There was great audience interaction and that’s always a plus. Congrats to Danielle for her talent in writing this script for 4 different characters, writing their songs, and then acting out their parts! A 5 star rating isn’t enough. It was incredible!
I absolutely loved this show! Danielle is creative, talented, and funny! And the music is so, so good.
Danielle is absolutely wonderful! Her show is hilarious and charming, well-performed and creative! Highly recommend her comedy acting and original music, 10/10! 🤩
Really cleaver. Loved all the songs and various character portrayals. Totally, the sort of show that will succeed on circuit and please a mix of audiences of all walks.
Well done.
#Beanie & #Jer need to partner up 🙂
Danielle Anderson was amazing and showed off her many talents for this show. Such creativity first with the video of garage sales shopping and then coming out in person to delight us with her songs and antics while sharing so many aspects of life in the process. I’m so very happy I was able to attend and encourage everyone that has a chance to still make an effort to see this wonderful act. Outstanding performance!
Five Stars!
I can’t recommend this show highly enough. I belly laughed, guffawed, snickered, and felt all the feels. It’s touching, funny, insightful, and thoroughly relatable. Her characters are vivid and gently poke fun at ourselves. All four characters are distinct and memorable. Anderson accompanies herself on ukulele and guitar, and even in her character voices, her lovely singing voice shines through. I can’t wait to see more from this new comedy talent. I even went back for seconds!
P.S. Jer, I love you!
Danielle CARRIES this one-person show so perfectly, the technical aspects are TIGHT and perfectly incorporated, the songs are so fun and catchy, and Danielle’s range illustrated through these very different characters is so impressive—everything about this show is impressive, do not miss it!
