Review by J. ANTHONY MCCARTHY

My overall impression

A man in a bar reciting a long ass poem. Doesn’t sound like a great night. But you’d be wrong.

Aaron Lyons shredded this recital with the help of a 3 piece live band and a beautiful cohort who danced distractingly throughout. He gave life and individuality to all the characters of the show, and was transported by the excellent musical accompaniment.
As to the beautiful cohort, it wasn’t distracting after all. She wove a sinuous counterpoint in movement and sound to everything the band and Aaron were laying down.
Audience laughed and cheered. No one walked out without a smile.

Highly recommend this experience.
