Fringe Festival is ending again for another year. For those who missed it here’s a quick wrap-up.

Running from July 2 to July 13, Fringe tickled Toronto’s funny bone, made others cry and some sing along. With tons of original acts to choose from one found it hard to pick.

Improv, like “Scratch”, which I saw Thursday night was a good example of young comics trying to make it big. Arlen Konopaki and Kevin Gillese have traveled the world to bring audiences theatre that is wacky, absurd, but always funny. (Comedy Bar at 945B Bloor St. W, www.scratchimprov.com)

More comedy like “The Exploding Breakfast” by Ingle Knight (Factory Studio Theatre) and “My Autopsy” an autobiograpical dark piece (Theatre Passe Muraille Mainspace) are sure to please those looking for a good laugh.

Dance and music are sometimes overlooked, but to get your fill check out “Take it Back” at the George Ignatieff Theatre. Also, check out “Follow Your Bliss” a three-woman show about the pitfalls and pressures of finding your way.

It was a great year, but don’t worry, if you missed it don’t forget that it all happens again in 2009.
