Fringe 2017 - Returning Favorite - Derek Miller
Derek Miller (2006 Top 10) of
The Miller Conspiracy - The Banana Wars
War. Famine. Pestilence. Bananas. One man takes on America's "small wars" in Central America to show how a century of death and destruction made it possible for you to buy bananas at 60 cents a pound.
Speaking of bananas (and not to be confused with The Second Banana Revolt), Derek Miller also has a show, with banana in the title, and a banana in his hand. But that’s about as silly as it sounds like it’s going to be. Whether as a writer, actor, director, or puppeteer, Derek Miller never fails to impress me (like way back when with the Fringe show on a raft in a pool at the YWCA) and often amuse me (as with last year’s five part Fringe paean to B-Movie Actors). So if Derek’s doing it, I’m on board. You should be, too.
And here's some handy links to the full list of pre-Fringe top 10, and 11-20, the rest of the returning favorites, and all the random shout outs in these Top 10/Top 20 posts - links all gathered in a single list to take you to fuller posts and Fringe pages. Enjoy!
