Ramona can’t seem to land “The One.” So far, Portland has given her a string of dive bar weirdos and therapy-speak rejections. Through a medley of comic formats, Fool’s Ballad explores thwarted romance, mixtape-giving, thrift-find envy, ex-investigation, friendship, and the humiliation of self-expression.
