What I liked

Simple costume changes and staging, quick pacing and transitions, compelling social commentary, strong focus and performance, perfect running time, strong use of visuals/personal photos/voiceover, fun improv and adapting to the audience.

What I didn't like

N/A.

My overall impression

Paul succeeded in weaving significant social commentary with familiar superhero narratives in a compelling and entertaining way. His poise, passion and articulation helped frame a fun, fast-paced and yet timely and poignant message that everyone in and out of Hollywood would benefit from. His simple staging give way to the depth of his message, which is well-supported via modern references, personal/historical visuals and a strong performance all around. As an immigrant, I found his experiences relatable and beautifully narrated.
