Winner of MN Fringe's Audience Encore Award

Directed by Dave Mondy; Starring Rik Reppe, Courtney McLean, Dave Mondy, and DJ King Otto

Rockstar Storytellers Rik Reppe, Courtney McLean and Dave Mondy interlace three tales of "getting the axe" -- from the bedroom to the boardroom -- mixed live onstage with soul, funk, and hip-hop from DJ King Otto.

"You couldn't ask for a better storytelling sampler than this... a great set of stories in a laid back atmosphere you can't help settling into and letting wash over you."
-- SWFG, MN Fringe Blog (full review)

"A rapid-fire format of moving from speaker to speaker, segment to segment, adds to the enjoyment through the differences in each speaker's style."

A-Listed by City Pages and strongly recommended by Metro Magazine.

Created by Dave Mondy, Melissa LaCasse, and Allan Staples; hosted by Dave Mondy; starring Dawn Brodey, Shannon O'Keefe, Bobbi Miller; and DJ King Otto; sound effects/design by Elliot Durko Lynch; live direction by Alan Frechtman.

A classic radio variety show, served with a modern twist.  Think a DJ instead of a house band, hip-hop and rock instead of folk, and a laptop artist instead of sound effects man.  But it still contains all the classic ingredients of classic radio -- comedy, drama, musical guests, writers, news, and quizzes.  The Radio All Stars sold out the BLB Theater, and 6 full-length podcasts are available.

"The Radio All Stars take the concept of the radio variety show and make it cool... Great actors and a host you can't help but laugh at (and sometimes with)... Kick-ass musical performances... It's a great show.  In fact, I can't think of many better things for you to do.  Get yourself down to The Bryant Lake Bowl." --Metro Magazine

"Deep in the heart of Uptown, the Radio All Stars have retooled the format for a younger, hipper audience... They bring musical, acting, and production talent... A strong core show... The guest line-up has been powerfully entertaining... There's no reason to spend a Sunday night at home."

Mondy's charisma and natural storytelling make the cabaret a delicious indulgence." --St. Paul Pioneer Press

Winner of the Best Solo Comedy Award at the San Francisco Fringe Festival

Written/Performed/Produced by Dave Mondy; directed by Allan Staples

This Love Train... was Dave Mondy's last one-person show.  It tells the humorous tale of Dave's own sexual (d)evolution:  From leading prayers around the high school flagpole to, just five years later, backroom negotiations at a Bourbon Street brothel.

The show toured throughout the U.S., including stops at the Cincinnati, Minneapolis, and San Francisco Fringe Festival, where it was voted Best Solo Comedy.

"The specificity with which he has crafted the show makes his experiences all the more universal.  An excellent writer, Mondy has good comic timing and a clear sense of character."
-- MN Artists

"Dave keeps audience members twice his age laughing at his growing pains... Believable impersonations of his parents, pastor and pothead buddies keeps the story flowing like a book you can't put down." -- Lumino Magazine

"Love Train looks like the start of a successful career... If Mondy keeps honing his talent, we'll be able to say we knew him when." -- Cincinnati Enquirer

"Tremendously entertaining.  Dave has a great way with a turn of phrase... Spending an hour in Dave's company is time well spent.  I wish I could have had more.  Frankly, I was sorry to see it end." -- Matthew Everett, MN Fringe official Blog

"This one is worth seeing.  Grade: A." -- CityBeat
