Mo-to-the-oncle (pronounced MO-to-the-AWN-uh-kuhl) debuts at the 18th Annual Cincinnati Fringe Festival (Friday, June 4 - Saturday, June 19) via cincyfringe.com. Mo-to-the-oncle will be available to be viewed on-demand throughout the 14-day theater festival. Tickets are now on sale for $10 at cincyfringe.com, where more information is also available.
Mo-to-the-oncle is a satirical one-woman comedy play about a Bronx teenager who must wear a monocle to school after his dad loses their vision insurance. The story unfolds through a series of bold monologues performed by writer and actress Melissa Cole, who portrays at least a dozen different characters throughout the show. People always say that they just can t get into solo shows, says Cole. My background is in improv and sketch comedy, so my perspective as a creator comes through that lens. Mo-to-the-oncle is really fast-paced and fun, and I think it s a real standout in the solo show category.
