Awards, Quotes and Reviews

8 reviews for Swap Meet Synchronicity

  1. Ava Neal

    Don’t get left in the shadows! Be prepared to search your past for any “Mr Petey’s” after this twisty trip thru the psychological swap meet of reckoning and redemption.

  2. Greg Thonen

    What a fantastic show! Billy Blob packs a lot into a 40 minute play. Carl Jung, lost loves, and finding redemption all with the help of a giant rat. Everything is on-point with this cleverly-written play from the acting to the hilariously cartoonish props. Go for the laughs. Go for the zany acting. But most importantly, go find out what’s lurking in your own darkness. Perhaps a giant rat awaits you!

  3. Steve Sachs (verified owner)

    Billy Blob does it again. The humor is spot on and you find yourself laughing out loud, only to find yourself moments later deeply moved by the poignant message of the paly. You are completely taken away to the swap meet, from the set, to the props, to the lighting and sound and the acting and timing is outstanding . The pacing is perfect and it is a fast 50 mins that leaves you wanting more. This is a must see show!

  4. Russell Galloway (verified owner)

    I really loved this play. The humor hit me as well as the feels. It also has a very touching message. The acting was outstanding. I am glad I went. Lovely job!

  5. JT

    Enjoyed the heart of this show. Really enjoyed the interspersing of Police music in the show as well. Tender moments as well as laugh out loud moments. A lot of heart and a good message.

  6. Tim Mooney

    I went for the Police, I stayed for the Jung. Any fringe show that makes me want to go chase down a book that I know I SHOULD have read 20 or 30 years ago is worth the price of admission.

  7. Rafi

    Early favorite for Best Of Fringe 2025 for me. The combination of wit, pop culture playfulness, and affecting emotional introspection was perfectly balanced and beautifully articulated. The cast was uniformly excellent, and the staging was terrific as well. Thought provoking and resonant while consistently being way too much fun to feel like homework.

  8. Ron Worley

    I had such a wonderful time watching this play! Very fun and clever!
