Absolutely loved it!! This one is smart and entertaining. Can’t wait to see some of his other work in the future
A must see. I hope he joins us for the Rogue again next year!
Fun and esoteric at the same time. Amazing performance. I’ve seen all his shows over the years, and will continue to return.
smart and funny, this show is a must see!
Not a single joke about the Broken Leg Theater yet?? Color me depressed Fresno.
But! I agree that I loved the show! http://eatingoutfresno.blogspot.com/
Yes, he’s done it again. If you’ve never seen Baba’s clever stylings and word-smithing, this is a definite must-see. If you’re a Baba fan, this is a must-see.
I completely appreciate his abilities, especially when he free-forms at the end to whatever topic you toss to him. I also completely appreciate that he brings stories to life that otherwise only masters-program students would be reading.
But for me, a white dude age 47? I’m not the target audience, and Baba becomes (again, just for me) someone to sit there and go “Hey, he’s good at what he does!” but it’s just not for me.
But for the thousands of you that DO love this, GET THERE EARLY, or you’ll never get a seat. The venue doesn’t have as many seats as people who want to see Baba, so you might end up standing. You’ve been warned.
Baba Brinkman is our man, got to see him if you can, even if you are on the lamb. Love you Baba!
Baba blows me away every time I see him perform. He’s cool, he’s hot, he’s smart as hell and one of the most talented performers Rogue has ever seen. What more could you ask for? DO NOT MISS THIS SHOW!!
Loved it, loved it, loved it!!!!!!! Baba Brinkman is hilarious, talented and smart! Not only are you entertained, but educated! totally comfortable in his performances, he draws you in; he is fascinating, and you wanting more, more, more! 3rd time we’ve ween him, and will every time he comes to toown! Totally recommend Baba’s shows!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Baba is a long-time Rogue Performer — and we’re very excited to have him back again!
