Rogue Review: The Jester of All Maladies

by Mallory Moad


Kurt Fitzpatrick is an actor. He’s also the survivor of cancer. But The Jester of All Maladies, Kurt’s solo show, is neither a disease-of-the-month chronicle nor a therapy show (in which the audience is subjected to the performer’s trials and tribulations in self-serving detail). What it is, is a side-splitting, thought-provoking celebration of living, and the events and people in Kurt’s journey that have allowed him to remain that way.

Rogue Festival 2024

by Lorie Lewis Ham


The wonderful arts festival known as the Rogue Festival, which takes place in the Tower District of Fresno, is nearly upon us again! This year it will be running from March 1-9. While the general idea of the Festival remains the same each year, there are always subtle differences, so we took a moment to chat with the always witty Jaguar Bennett to find out what this year’s Rogue has in store for us! Hopefully, we will get him to tell us about his show this year as well!
