2017 Pittsburgh Fringe “Best Actress” WINNER!
“[A] lost solo female episode of Chappelle's Show" - Orlando Weekly
“Mo-to-the-oncle is smart and funny and fearless, and Cole’s comedic writing is excellent. I expect to see her on the cast of Saturday Night Live in a few years.” - WXXI
“An enjoyable hour” - Orlando Sentinel
“[F]ast-paced and idiosyncratic enough to resemble a shorter, more soci
ally conscious Wes Anderson film. Cole jumps from bizarre caricature to bizarre caricature to deliver a series of booming monologues...” - Pittsburgh in the Round
“The mixing of broad caricature with the serious topics of race, gun violence, healthcare, and economic disparity can make for uneasy bedfellows, but as Cole sings and dances her way through the narrative her impeccable delivery ensures the results are both surprising and entertaining.” - CITY Newspaper
“Like Book of Mormon and Spamalot I kept thinking this is just so wrong to be laughing so hard at this. Move over Cleese and Parker & Stone, Melissa Cole is about to arrive.” - Audience member
“Incredibly funny & creative 1 woman show” - Barbara B., audience member
“Everyone left [the] show smiling” - Jane B., audience member
