blackout - no hard feelings. a darkly comic reckoning with booze, boys and big emotions
MARS SANFORD certified reviewer June 17, 2025

A wonderful, darkly silly show about Mary Lynn's reconciliation with her deep ability to feel. Kerri has taken bits of truly helpful life advice and weaved them through a tale dripping with many fun characters, excellent tech, and enough gen-x/xennial references to make anyone giggle. Raw true experience that's worthy of both tears and belly laughs. ... full review

Kerri’s comedic genius is truly uplifting here. Her hilarious one-liners will catch you off guard and leave you giggling uncontrollably in the most random places and at the most unexpected things, filling you with joy! The show’s premise is pure inspiration: a newly divorced woman gets white-girl-wasted at her niece’s wedding, blacks out, and suddenly she’s confronting all the feelings she’s been suppressing, leading to a journey of self-discovery. It’s ridiculously relatable – who hasn’t suppressed some feelings, am I right? And with a dream sequence featuring Patrick Swayze, followed by ghost Patrick Swayze, you’ll be hooked and inspired to face your own challenges!... full review

Fantastic show! Feelings are hard to deal with and this show does it with comedy, honestly and Patrick Swayze. I related so much to putting a mirror up to the past to see where you are now. ... full review
