UNDER THE JELLO MOLD won the Best Solo Performance Award from the 2017 Hollywood Fringe Festival and an Encore Producers' Award from the Complex Theatres. The show received five nominations including Top of the Fringe, Rogue Machines - "Premiere" Award, Sho Works; Don't Wait Create Award, The Larry Cornwall Award and Best Solo Performance.

UNDER THE JELLO MOLD was one of five shows to be nominated for Best Solo Performance. The nominees for this award are the top five solo shows out of this year's eighty-eight solo shows as voted by a community of Hollywood Fringe Festival patrons and participants.

Earlier in the festival, UNDER THE JELLO MOLD won The Pick of the Fringe Award from Combined Artform & Fringe Management who sends out judges that report back on five selected shows that then perform in a special ten minute showcase at Asylum Theatre's Underground venue.
