I was absolutely spellbound from the moment the pre-show announcement began to the moment the lights faded out. Within 30 minutes I knew I was going to rise to my feet the second it was over. Greg's writing is so sharp, so funny, so deeply personal, and their performance is captivating and human. It's rare that a solo show can unveil so much raw personal history AND hold the audience's hand through it in a brilliant and safe way. Highly, HIGHLY recommend. Wow. Also shout out: the set is delightful. ... full review

Gregory Nussen has created one of the most impressive one person performances I've seen, at Fringe or otherwise. Walking a continuous tightrope between comedy and profundity, Nussen asks out loud why a public record of a personal exploration is necessary and arrives at an answer that feels powerful without being myopic, preachy or self-aggrandizing. The show is instantly funny and eventually heartbreaking without contradicting itself (except, of course, when it purposefully and loudly contradicts itself). Nussen is an arresting performer; getting laughs with wordless gestures and then leading the audience on a full journey that never tests our patience, going into painful personal history and coming back with something universal about identi... full review

CHARLOTTE MOROZ certified reviewer June 16, 2025
I'm a bit speechless about this show, as it's so beautifully crafted and so powerfully embodied and spooled and unspooled by Greg Nussen. Twists and swirls through various, seemingly fractured but always and inevitably constellated scripts carry the audience on a heart-rending, humorous, quantum-leaping pilgrimage-of-the-soul of sorts. Greg is so funny, so magically plants the garden plot of the show and tends to its seeds and crops with such care, humor, and humanity. ... full review

tagged as: emotional
a gorgeous, emotional, thought-provoking study in contradictions. It’s both meandering and precise; charmingly silly and deadly serious; so sharp and so vulnerable. QFWFQ is humane, clear-sighted and delightfully constructed. And so funny! A must see.... full review

I loved this show so much. I went in not really knowing what to expect and came out wondering WTF did I just watch and why do I feel like I need to go have a good cry. Equal parts hilarious, existential, and impactful, I never quite knew where we were going but because I could tell from the start that the show was in the hands of a powerful performer, I was ready for the ride from minute one. Go see this show!... full review

This show expertly weaves between various tones and topics. From brilliantly executed bits of intentionally dumb fun to powerfully painful moments of vulnerability, Gregory Nussen is a force to be reckoned with on both the page and the stage.... full review

The show was incredible! Multiple themes intertwined so beautifully, and the pace, format, lighting, and music of the show reflected the emotion and themes perfectly. Gregg is a great storyteller and performer. If you see one show during Fringe Fest, let it be this one. ... full review

RICHARDSON CISNEROS-JONES certified reviewer June 15, 2025
Gregory Nussen delivers what is sure to be a major contender for Best Solo Show at Fringe. Full of both laughs and profundity, Nussen skates through very personal stories in a way that feels universally relatable. They are a nuanced and intelligent writer and a vibrant, heartfelt actor with a massive amount of charm. Using a very clever conceit, Nussen (with fabulous co-director Hannah Pilkes) has crafted an exciting train ride. I never knew where we were going, but I always felt safe and delighted with Greg driving. They offer very intimate details while never taking themself too seriously, creating a beautiful, poignant, hilarious and exhilarating hour of theatre. Highest recommendation!... full review
