My overall impression

total fan of this show… liked the characters for the most part… but i personally loved the ‘challenge’. funny concept! obviously one person show fodder has been going on for years, even within our own solo community, but this show did a great job. The only place where it falters is with some sort of message that the haughty ‘artistic’ dude is just an ass and why does he have a right to share… or some such thing… which frankly, I dunno. I think we all come to do solo shows for different reasons, and some of us, just have shitloads to say, ideas a springing, and we need a stage to put it. Just. Like. YOU. (except as solo performers, some of us may be commitment phobe… or perhaps… afraid of people!) Anyhoo, as someone who’s started off a show as a fetus and yes, who has also been impersonated by Tina Fey, I am past those traumas and able to delight! Just work on the ‘message’ or better yet, if you don’t know what it is… let the show tell you, but right now, for me, it’s not that the defending champion is an asshole. But it is that you have a great show, and I want to see the 8th one next year!
