Just when you think you're going to see a Fringe show, all of a sudden you are being tested on your knowledge of Puerto Rican history and culture. Don't worry, it's all in fun, and you might actually learn something from Javier Morillo, who also shares personal stories about family and identity with wit and earnestness. Morillo occasionally trips over his tongue, but his confidence and affability carry the show under Levi Weinhagen's well-paced direction. (10 p.m. Sat., 1 p.m. Sun., Bryant-Lake Bowl, 810 W. Lake St., Mpls.)
