Writer-performer Jeremiah “Miah” Gibbons (Miah’s Critter Comfort) returns to Fringe as Ranger Miah, an ethereal genderfluid fairy of the forest in a green bullfrog beret. A platinum-level homosexual spouting picture-book poetry à la Beatrix Potter — only with a campy anti-capitalist edge — Miah has a day job sitting at a desk as his soul slowly slips away, but continues challenging the corporate hamster wheel he’s caught inside in hopes of saving his rustic Camp Creature from being torn down for a golf course.
Wistfully wearing his heart on his sleeve, this golden-voiced Kermit-admirer strums his ukulele to sweet sing-alongs about cats (who enjoy ideal lives as top-performing online influencers despite sleeping 18 hours a day), turtle shells and lily pads, in between telling stories that somehow incorporate Three Dog Night, Earth’s eroding ecology and Nintendo’s “Animal Crossing” — aka esteem-building digital catnip for nonviolent gaymers.
Miah’s Critter Comforts is the kind of queeny comedy that could easily curdle and become caustic or cynical; instead, the best way to describe Miah’s endearing tone is “cozy AF.” (As Miah exuberantly sings, “This isn’t serious, this is monkey business.”) So gather around his campfire to clap along and enjoy the kind of whimsical experience you can only find at Fringe.
