Six heterosexual couples, plus a happy straight singleton and an officiating gay add up to one of the most hilarious shows in the festival. "Couple Fight" creator Anna Weggel-Reed and director Tom Reed have hit upon a Fringe franchise that shares ridiculous yet relatable stories from real life couples. Laura Zabel and Levi Weinhagen re-enact their disagreement about their wedding playlist (he had a secret anti-gun theme running through it). Shanan Custer and Eric Webster wanted a simple lakeside wedding but their mothers and stepfathers had bigger ideas, all of which came to a head when a tornado interrupted the festivities. And bride Rita Boersma goes ballistic after she realizes that her self-made jar-pies were not fully baked. (2:30 p.m. Sun., 10 p.m. Tue., 8:30 p.m. Sat. Aug. 12, 2:30 p.m. Sun.
