When all is said and done, as we all enter our later years, we all have a plethora of stories that need to be told. ... full review
DAN PREVETTE certified reviewer June 27, 2024
Hilarious, heartfelt, and humble, Gerry reminds me of a Norman Rockwell character, if that character happened to be a degenerate gambler with a traumatic childhood. He is a performer who shows up entirely as himself. He pulls from a deep well of life lessons learned the hard way, but his love for his family and fellow recovering humans is tangible and touching. Gerry frequently references the creative writing talents of his children in giving him material to use, but its through his lens of honest self-reflection and wry sense of humor that playful anecdotes are woven together into something closer to a love letter. A deeply human show, sure to touch anyone with a heart, a heartache, or a bad habit.... full review

This is a heart felt one man show about life’s ups and downs and how you can learn from that roller coaster of a ride many years after the fact. Gerry taking us on that introspective journey of looking back into his childhood and adulthood provides golden nugget insights on what it means to be a good human being and a bit of a grown up. I found his story to be very relatable. I laughed, I cried- I throughly enjoyed it! ... full review
