What I liked

The humor is jagged and self-aware, with punchlines that come wrapped in info-dumps and earnest tangents. It’s a play that knows its own strangeness and leans in.

What I didn't like

Right now, the journey feels episodic and heavily comedic. But for a deeper impact, there needs to be clearer emotional stakes beyond just “trying to lose virginity.” Why does this matter to Justice? What are they really seeking—validation, freedom, control, belonging? Letting the audience feel that longing, not just laugh at the mishaps, would round it out. Justice seems quirky and smart, but also a little abstract. To avoid her becoming a caricature, it would help to ground her with a few quieter, more introspective moments. When she reflects (not just info-dumps), we should learn what shaped her views on intimacy and her sense of self.

My overall impression

This show delivers a raw, raucous, and refreshingly offbeat one-person journey that tackles the sacred cow of “the first time” with unapologetic wit and wild honesty. Anchored by the lead character, Justice, this play is less about sex and more about identity, autonomy, and the absurd pressure society places on something as arbitrary as virginity.
