This was so wholesome and nostalgic! Julia is so charming on stage and I found myself giggling, reminiscing and tearing up. Truly such a beautiful show, congratulations to the whole team – this show is a must-see!
Prepare to be disarmed! Julia Bueneman’s diaries will charm you and are a time machine into the 2000s. Go and see this show with your your childhood BFFs and crushes!
I absolutely loved this show! Julia is so funny and relatable, and a fantastic storyteller. Highly recommend seeing this if you’ve ever experienced a confusing childhood crush or the prepubescent feeling that no one understands you (so all of us). You will not be disappointed!
If you’re going to Ottawa Fringe this year put this show at the top of your list! I was giggling and kicking my feet the whole time. Such a wholesome look into growing up in the 2000s and seeking identity and understanding.
Such a fun trip down memory lane, and so relatable to anyone who was ever a weird kid (and that’s everyone cuz all kids are weird).
Hilarious, touching, triumphant!
This show was the absolute best. Relatable to the utmost degree, it’s hilarious, heartwarming, and nostalgic, and had me giggling like a giddy kid at a sleepover at 3am from the first beat till curtain call!! Julia’s performance was charming, energetic, and thoroughly enjoyable. Can’t recommend this show highly enough!!
This was a wonderful show and a testament to the value of saving your diaries and journals.
The show does a wonderful job of balancing both hilarious and melancholic stories that offer nostalgic insights into the mind of a growing kid. It’s so immediately relatable. Through the show, Julia brings you back and makes you fondly remember your own childhood friendships and early romantic moments with all the drama and weight that you felt at that time.
In short, Julia is an excellent singer and an amazing storyteller. Go see this show!
What a surreal privilege to step into a preteen brain !
Julia is an exceptional and generous tour guide, offering no apologies while laughing right alongside the audience.
So much fun ! Hilarious, dramatic and provocative – just as we’d expect from this treasured performer !
