Context: We could n't have asked for a better ending to this year 's Fringe . We had over 170 friendly faces in the audience at our closing show , 8 seats from selling out ( broke our previous record of 168 butts in seats at our second show of the run ) , and the audience was into it and really vocal and we really appreciated their energy -- PLUS neither Laura nor I lost control of our motor functions , which is always a danger . PLUS , we got tapped for the Gremlin Theatre remount at their new space ( formerly the Loading Dock Theater ) . Unfortunately we missed the Encore opportunity , but with so many great shows in the same venue , and with three crappy timeslots ( weekday 5:30 , weekday 10:00 , weekday 4:00 ! )
