Fringe Freak Awards– The Best of the Hollywood Fringe

Does it have to be over?

The Hollywood Fringe Festival wrapped up last night with closing ceremonies (read: live band karaoke) and the annual Top of the Fringe awards affectionately known as the Freaks. It was a solid year for the Fringe, and a sign that the LA indie theatre community is really coming into its own.

But you want to know the winners, right? Here’s the list of winners, culled from the @HollywoodFringe twitter account (methinks some Fringers may be too hung over to crank out a press release yet this morning). The complete list of nominees follows.
