This show is funny, high-energy, visually striking and ultimately a really beautiful illustration of grief. Kathleen is an excellent performer who kept me rapt the whole time. Perfect Australian accent. Broadway caliber singing voice. ...

Kathleen is a force of nature! Grief Box was relentless in delivering the comedic blows! I really found myself in awe of how Kathleen held the presence and attention of the audience throughout, all well keeping up the infomercial/seminar reality that she created. Convention speakers would be so lucky to have about a 10th of the captivating showmanship that Kathleen brings in spades!...

Unimaginably funny and so well conceived. A tragedy hidden deep beneath an absolute joy fest comedic solo show. The depth Kathleen finds in Dr. Graves while literally singing and dancing away the pain... It's perfect....
