Really enjoyed it! Had no expectations going in, just wanted to support a friend of friends. But I was entertained the entire time and laughed frequently. Misted up at the end due to the turnabout of events and growth of the main character. Super sweet. ... full review

Loved it! Way deeper and more personal than the simple comedy I was expecting. ... full review

Richard really brought us on an emotional journey that got me! He got me!! He starts off with this kind of bitter, annoyed, beaten down energy and by the end I was tearing up and laughing those deep belly laughs that come from a satisfying adventure. Bravo to Bruno for helping cut 180+ pages into 60 minutes and getting the staging to be so simple yet so effective.... full review

very heartwarming and fun, a great show. The part of life that shows you that even though something seems to bother you, when it's gone you really miss it.... full review

Richard Lucas’s “The Dog Log” is a masterclass in how to do a solo show. Since it was based on a published book, I expected the show to be good. Yet I somehow didn’t expect to feel devastated by the end about the fragility of the human condition. Richard infuses his storytelling with humor and pathos, engaging the audience from the first “arf, arf” until the final curtain. Along the way we’re taken on a journey that could be described as “everyday” on the surface—a civic complaint—yet in Richard’s capable hands as a writer and performer, is rich in the extraordinary details of living a life.... full review

A wonderfully intimate journey... charming, heartbreaking & cleverly hilarious. ... full review

This is a beautifully written and delivered show that you can tell comes from the heart. I had read Richard's book years ago so already knew the story, but that did not take away anything from seeing it delivered live and getting to share with him the whole rollercoaster ride of emotions and events that unfolded around that simple barking dog.... full review
