This is the second solo show I’ve created. You can read reviews from 2018 SF Fringe!

Very creative, full throttle the whole time. James is a great solo performer who's able to switch between roles seamlessly and is able to carry the whole stage and the whole audience through strange and funny scenes without missing a beat.
James is on fire! The energy pouring out of him is contagious, his characters both thunderous & subtle. Thank you!
James Sundquist takes risks nobody else has the guts to take. He takes the physical virtuosity of clowning, the goofy voices and characters of puppetry, and the rage and euphoria of this very moments -- and mixes them together in a web of story which is hilarious, chilling, and utterly galvanizing.
James’ physical, pantomiming commitment is unparalleled in this intriguing and unique show. Story after intriguing story I found myself consumed in his world, wondering what would happen next. Thoughtful, surprising, shocking, and hilarious. I enjoyed and was captivated every minute.
A cascade of characters, wild with action scenes. You can't take your eyes off the act because you have no idea what's coming next, or who the f**k will be getting kicked down the imaginary stairs or arrested for murder. You can imagine. James Sundquist!
Hilarious character work within this outstanding solo performance! There was not a single dull moment throughout the entire show. A must see!
Enthralling, poetic, manic, skilled, and beautiful. I loved every moment.
This is why I Fringe.
Allow yourself to be transported to strange worlds as beguiling as TV, but without all the guilt of a Netflix binge. This is a show for someone who wants to feel something, but you’re not sure what, and to experience a madness that can only be described as reminiscent of Alex DeLarge from A Clockwork Orange. Check out the next showing of MINGALABA TONIGHT! at 9:30 pm in the Fellowship Hall.
Great show! This piece is fast paced, high energy and keeps you engaged the whole time. I found a lot of it really funny. And kind of dark. And sometimes just really bizarre. Overall a really fun ride. Highly recommended.
MINGALABA reeks of the pure enthralling and chaotic energy of mindlessly clicking through TV channels on a humid summer afternoon. There’s nothing mindless about Sundquist’s performance though, as he commands you through a series of winding and awe-inspiring sketches and tidbits that cause everything you think you’ve learned about the show to come crashing down at your feet. All killer, no filler.
Expeditious Intent is instantly engaging and hilarious while also being deeply emotional and relatable. An impressive, vivid, one man show!
