This week’s ADC lateshow leads to AMI JONES running away from the circus.

ABBIE SAUNDERS gets all animated over a musical Disney binge. She may even have been singing along.

Anything But (A One-Woman Play)

In the second thrust of her Week 8 double-whammy, MATILDA WNEK glories in a whole hour of just Abi Tedder and a fistful of lolz.
