WOW!! The shear energy that this beautiful red-head possesses is mind boggling!
This show- a sci-fi/semi-stand-up/satire/multi-media/multi-character piece-
is so original, so funny, so charming and definitely polished.
The hilarious slide show alone could keep you entertained for the whole
hour. But add to that a great story and a fantastic perform and you have
a show that show not be missed. Like I said when I saw this woman perform
for the first time in Minneapolis last year, she could make reading the
dictionary funny and exciting. See it see it see it!!!

Courtney Mclean is a tour de force in this, her second one-woman show. Playing
a variety of characters, she has an acute sense of the human condition in
which all of us can relate. Her edgy writing and unabashful performance
catapults this Super Glossy view into life's toughest questions into a Super
show!

Courtney McLean does it all. She wrote and is performing a KICK ass show
that everyone ought to take a peak at. She outs the magazine and fashion
industry and their crimes against women. Courtney has a spitfire presence
on stage jumping from character to character with out a blink or hesitation
keeping the crowd on their toes wondering what will happen next?

I saw this show in Minneapolis and have been recommending it to all my friends.
Courtney McLean is an adept, charming, scary, amusing performer who seems
to know exactly what she's doing at nearly every step (particularly in the
moments of shifting between characters). I found "Super Glossy"
to be a fascinating, dark, feminist sci-fi critique of the fashion industry
and the objectification of women. It's one of those shows that "seems
long" in GOOD way--as in "did she really just pack all that into
sixty minutes?" Great writing, great performance, and the slides were
creepy, fantastic, hilarious.

Super Glossy! - Super Pink! Super Funny!
Highly entertaining. Funny. Energetic. Way too true observations about
womens magazines, what they write about, the women who read them,
and the singles scene. Youll find this one woman show even more amusing
if you had the opportunity to read a recently newspaper article about the
tribulations of being a redhead in the UK.
The crowd wasnt large, but the laughter was. Courtneys channeling
of a singles bar male sleaze was right on. The plot to to brainwash
the women of Earth is an integral part of the production. This doesnt
mean that this is a science fiction play. Trekkies ­ stay
away. You wont get it. If youve ever gone out on the prowl on
a Friday night (or pretended to), you will. At the end of the play, I told
the Fringe doorkeeper, I think Ill pass on dating redheads for
awhile!

This is exactly the sort of show that I go to Fringe Festivals hoping to
see. It is funny, political, and very well acted. It should be on everyone's
"must see" list.

Smart & funny. A fun play with a story that's really well crafted.
She does a great job of revealing the plot (the evil plot), little by little. |
