Wild and vulnerable — it walked the tightrope perfectly.... full review

This show has stayed with me for the past two weeks. I went to the first show and came back for the next two. After years of fringe performances across the globe, I count this in my top three — and probably my overall favorite. Excellently crafted, beautifully written, silly, heart wrenching, powerful, and poignant, this tells a real queer story through the eyes of a true artist. I am blown away by the power this show has and can’t wait to see where it goes. ... full review

It's an incredibly thought-out one-man show that you don't want to ever end.... until you see the ending and you're like "okay, this is insane, i'm obsessed." The acting is impeccable. The story is completely one of a kind. The tech effects were perfectly executed. If you're on the LGBTQ spectrum—or an ALLY—this show is for you. ... full review

Completely electric — a brave and disarming solo performance.... full review

Unfiltered and unafraid — I was floored. The rhythm and musicality of the monologue stood out.... full review

It made me laugh, flinch, and unexpectedly reflect on my own mess. Mat carried the whole room with a single gesture or glance. ... full review

Raunchy, raw, touching and absolutely glorious to watch, Rugburn's leading star Mat Sanders delivers an exponential showcase of vulnerability, hilarity, and true talent. With true life stories intermixed into a dazzling blend of enchanting songs, captivating breaks into past life trials and tribulations, and a splendid sprinkle of lewd comedy throughout, this is one of the most memorable shows I've seen all Fringe season. Mat and Telly Kousakis created a play masterpiece that is sure to take Edinburgh Fringe over by storm, and beyond! I'm excited to see what this dynamic team creates next!... full review
