It was phenomenal, a wonderfully acted and touching coming-of-age story anyone can relate to! Truly a blast from start to finish, you will laugh so much your stomach hurts. Gerald weaves between multiple characters seamlessly and they're so distinct and unforgettable that you forget it's only one man doing it all! ... full review

"Minions!", You must see Gerald in action! A skilled performer, this artist takes us on a roller coaster ride through the strange, wonderful and terrifying funhouse of a young man coming of age, Mexican American style. His wildly funny characters ultimately way to reveal a deep and touching tale. Let this this World of Warcraft internet geek tell it like it is.... full review

Really enjoyed this show! The story was simultaneously poignant and funny. The humor managed to be sharp and witty without being raunchy. The performance was excellent with Gerald seamlessly transforming from one character to the next. I would highly recommend and would definitely see again.... full review

Gerald Ford's solo show, El Ultimo Coconut, had the perfect blend of humor and vulnerability. It is a coming of age story that anyone from any culture can identify with. He transitioned from character to character without missing a beat. I laughed and I was genuinely moved.... full review

What makes 'El Ultimo Coconut' great is it comes from a real place. Very honest, very funny and like the various characters that he so effortlessly weaves in and out of, Gerald also manages to pack on real complexities. At the surface, it's a story about a young man trying to find his identity and follow his dream. But it's also about family and race relations and racial stereotypes and racial segregation and breaking bad family chains, rising above to be better than what people expect of you. But none of it feels heavy-handed. It's all done through comedy and you're laughing along the entire time without ever realizing the deeper meaning the story is giving you. Superbly acted, funny as hell and characters that ring true, not only for p... full review
JOANN FARIAS certified reviewer June 17, 2014
What an epic journey! I was not expecting it, given the first few minutes or the information in the Festival promotional materials. Coco goes from schlub to hero to self-actualized man while gaining accurate information about how family along the way. And the wonderful milieu and colorful characters. This was well worth the trouble.... full review
