What I liked

Megan Stern is a comedic mastermind. It is incredibly hard for me to stay interested in any One-Person Show that is longer than 30 minutes, but Megan’s commitment to character (I’ve never seen an actor so convincing play a character that is written all over their face they are making it all up on the spot) and hysterical gags with snappy jokes that never end. After seeing this show, I am convinced Megan could sell water out of people’s own kitchen-sinks back to them.

What I didn't like

Not a single thing. I would pay to see this show again and again without it ever changing and do so eagerly every. single. time.

My overall impression

Speaking from experience as someone who almost got sucked into a Beauty Product MLM, I found myself saying “Yes, I know exactly who that lady is, I met her” which took this show’s sense of humor up the next step on the ladder. Without a doubt one of the most funny shows I have seen in years. There is a bit where Megan starts to eat something on stage, and she commits to finishing the entire item. I was laughing so loudly and for such a long time that I swear the audience started laughing again just because I couldn’t stop. This is a show I am telling everyone that they must see, no exception. If you are not doing the hand motions anytime you are saying Varmon, Pyramid Scheme, or Not Illegal, then you’re missing half the fun that was seeing this show!
