These are the shows I will see over & over again:

-Cast in Bronze
-The Rogues
-bellydancers (any)
-Charming & Dashing (New this year at CoRF.  Had me laughing so hard it hurt)
-Cut, Thrust & Run
-Doktor Kaboom
-Queen Anne's Lace
-Thomas Wood, Pyrojuggler
-The Corsairs (Alas, they are no more.  They will be missed)

And, in general, I love a good human chess match. 

Kathleen MacFerno

well I suppose I would have to say

-arsene of paris
-great balls of fire/tastes like burning
-hey nunnie nunnie

but I guess i'm a little bit prone to them just because I'm in them or worked on the same stage as them... I'm so lucky! They're all great sows!

Imestra

Repeating some favs;
The Tartan Terrors!
Hey Nunnie, Nunnie

The show I will not miss:
The Swordsmen (Dirk & Guido)
We are all of us in the gutters, but some of us are lookin at the stars

LadyMorna

I love Hey Nunnie Nunnie, and I have learned to sing and play "Five Constipated Men In the Bible" on my autoharp for the residents at the nursing facility where I work, in tribute to the Sisters.

I also really like Iris & Rose, Queen Anne's Lace, and will miss the Corsairs terribly.  Oh, yes, and the Rogues. 

I have never seen the Brobdingagian Bards in person, yet, but I've heard their recordings and can't wait to actually see them somewhere.

Lady Morna
Mistress of Conundrum Castle, Wife of Sir Marcas McLaren, and Lady-in-Waiting to two royal housecats

LadyMorna

And I forgot to mention The Ladies of the Salty Kiss!  When they played at our nursing facility in dinky little Bowie, TX, they won my heart and my loyal fandom forever!

Lady Morna,
     The feelings are *very* mutual for all of us - we fell in love with the residents, staff, and facility in Bowie and cannot wait to get the opportunity to return to you all once more.  You are all treasures beyond measure in my books.

Here's a list of my favorites most perform at the MiRF, and they aren't in any particular order, because all are great entertainment.

The Buckle and Swash Show

Manolete

The Washing Well Wenches

Ric Roc

Rogue Blades

Sir Ryosus

The Limey Birds, don't know if their going to show here at MiRf, they're not listed in the schedule

Crannog

Tartanic

E Muzeki when they used to come to MiRF, not here this year

Ample and Trite

The Zucchini Brothers

Lady Tess

I also love watching Twig the Fairy interact with the kids. She is so good with them!

Lord Duelist

A lot of it depends on just what I'm in the mood for that day, but I do have some "must see" shows:

Iris & Rose
Christophe the Insultor
Sound & Fury

with close runner-ups:

Arsene
The Other Brothers (who I think only perform at TRF, based on a comment one made when I saw them opening day)
Ded Bob

Though, to be honest, I have yet to see a show at TRF that I outright didn't like. I'll probably post an addendum to this after I've been to another faire (most likely Scarby).
