Give this show the MacArthur Genius Grant! Tarek was captivating in his animated exploration of prestige and what it means to be successful in today's society. Oscillating between absurdist bits and heartfelt interpretations of his own past, Tarek strikes balance that keeps this one man show dynamic and engaging. A+ gold star...

This was one of the best shows I've been to! I was laughing the entire 60 minutes. Tarek is a very captivating and talented performer. His writing is creative and very unique -- I've never seen a show like this. This show was the perfect balance of witty humor, physical comedy, and the perfect amount of "serious-ness".
I'm excited to follow his journey and see what he does next!!! ...
