Wow. This is what I come to fringe to see. This show made me laugh, cry and think about the way we frame and treat people. Alyssa is a very funny and vulnerable performer and I now consider myself a fan. Please do yourself a favor and run to see this show!... full review

Not gonna lie, the title confused me. I believe I have a loved one that has Schizophrenia and thought, “there’s nothing funny about it.” BUT nonetheless, it intrigued me. After watching, I can say, “WOW! THIS IS A MUST SEE!” I laughed, cried, learned and related to Alyssa’s story SO much!... full review

Brilliant. Funny. Sad. Empowering. This deep dive into one young woman's Schizophrenia spiral and how she has learned that laughter is her survival guide. ... full review

If the title of this show has you wondering if it is for you, wonder no more, it is definitely for anyone that likes to laugh. The writing and performance is truly phenomenal. It is hard to explain how incredibly it all comes together to be eye opening, heartwarming, and hysterical all at once. It is an experience that should not be missed. Alyssa is a joy and talent that will not disappoint.... full review

This show is remarkable. Alyssa is a force of nature. As someone who has had a close family member with schizophrenia, much of this hit very close to home. Other aspects of it were eye opening and still others were truly heartbreaking. I cried a little and I laughed a lot. To see her turn something so dark, into such a funny, emotional and inspiring piece of art was a gift that I am grateful she was willing to share with us.... full review

This was such an accurately entertaining account of psychosis. I laughed, I cried, I laughed harder, but most importantly… I was pulled into the the characters and experience of the performer. I highly recommend this show and hope you get a chance to see it!... full review
