What a beautiful theatrical experience. Chris welcomes the audience into his "tribe" as he walks us through defining moments, and people, in his life. His reflections not only illuminate the corners of his psyche, but hold the mirror up to recognize ourselves -- members of the tribe. Truly brought me from laughter to tears. (And, echoing the way Chris starts the show, I don't tend to enjoy one-human shows either. 😉)... full review

Fantastic show! Chris delivered on a variety of levels. From sharp, quick character pivots, to poignant, humorous, and vulnerable dialogue. All of that presented in a rich golden vocal quality that echoes a similar tone of the great Nick Offerman. Thanks Chris, for a great performance! ... full review

A raw and visceral dive into love and loss, pursuing the arts when coming from a less-than-supportive background, and mental health. The monologues flow and while the drama is intense, there’s a nice dose of self reflection and awareness for humor relief.... full review
