What I liked
I liked how much of the show felt like an invitation into Kendall’s world. There’s a warmth and conversational quality to the show that makes it easy to connect with. The few props he uses add to the humor in a nice way and don’t distract by doing too much. Kendall’s honesty is the biggest strength – he’s willing to share both the vulnerable and messy parts of his experience, which gives the show its heart.
What I didn't like
The show introduces a lot of rich emotional territory, and at times I found myself wanting to go even deeper into some of those ideas. There are moments where the story feels like it’s opening a door to bigger questions about identity, healing, and self-worth, and I would have loved to spend more time exploring those layers. The foundation is strong, and there’s clearly a lot more that we could get from this story. I think the time constraint was the toughest challenge for this show.
My overall impression
Kendall Brezinski’s one-man show feels like sitting down with someone for an honest, unfiltered conversation about growing up, identity, love, and learning to accept yourself. The simplicity of the staging keeps the focus on his storytelling, creating an intimate atmosphere that feels personal and vulnerable. The show explores some heavy themes – including depression, suicidal ideation, the longing for connection, and the complicated ways we search for love and validation – while balancing those moments with humor and very candid and descriptive (definitely adult-only) stories about sex and self-discovery. Kendall also made it clear that this was his first show ever (part of the theme of the show) and it felt really well done for a first attempt.
