Andrea is an incredibly captivating storyteller, yes even at 11:55pm. She gave the room immense energy, made us feel comfortable as she took us along for the ride which was equally as hilarious as it was gut-wrenching. I am in deep awe of her ability to share the traumas in her life in a way that sheds light while simultaneously making light of what she endured and how it's shaped her journey. Her performance was incredibly raw, honest, and playfully engaging. I love her and would 10000% see this again and anything she does!!!... full review

What makes this show work so well is that Andrea is a gem of a human being. At the core of the story is a message of healing and a genuine longing to help others feel more comfortable in their own skin. While the overall message is uplifting, that’s not to say that every moment of comedy is light-hearted. The stories that Andrea tells go into mind bogglingly dark places, yet somehow Andrea keeps you laughing even through the darkest moments. She clearly has a ton of experience working a crowd and the show is a lovely blend of standup comedy and solo theater.... full review
