i thought i was special

Review by PHILLIP REILLY

June 20, 2024 certified reviewer

What I liked

Aaron is so comfortable onstage and you see someone who knows what they are doing. The obsessive thoughts on rewriting history really hit home for me. By discussing the “what ifs” on his life, it makes us all think about the trajectory of our own lives and how it could be different if we did or said other things.

What I didn't like

Not giving the recipe to his amazing cookies! One of the best cookies I have ever consumed. A man with many talents!

My overall impression

Aaron creates comedy from such tragedy. The venerability he displays through his storytelling makes you think and feel so many things. An impactful hour of comedy. The introspection of his life provides us an opportunity to reevaluate everything from our mental health to our aspirations and mistakes. So personal yet very universal.
