We know the Capital Fringe Festival can be overwhelming (and that our steady assault of reviews over the past few weeks can be, well, assaulting). So DCist's Fringe team decided to put together an easier to digest roundup of the shows we've reviewed so far as we enter into the final weekend of the festival.
Some shows we wrote about no longer have remaining performances, but here's the best - and worst - of what's left (at least, of those shows we got the chance to see). Please share your own take on your personal Fringe experiences to date in the comments.

One other must-see is The Quick Brown Fox Jumped Over The Lazy Dogs: wonderful wordplay and biting social commentary, revealing and thought-provoking. Why DCist ignored thus one over some of the others mentioned is beyond me - go see it!
And you'll never see the thing the same way again...
Another MUST see is Ed Hamell's 'The Terrorism of Everyday Life.'
You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll leave with jokes to offend just about everyone.
At Warehouse, Saturday @ 9PM and Sunday @ 3PM.
GO!
