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!... full review

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.... full review

The show was meticulously crafted & exquisitely delivered. Leary displayed a marvelous range, from raw & emotive to delightfully unhinged. Shows like this are a charitable gift to a fraying society.... full review
