PartyBoy

Before the show even officially begins, Adam Smith is already onstage dancing, living completely inside his own world while the audience files in. That playful commitment never lets up. Audience members are invited into the action, gifted bizarre costume pieces, and transformed into party guests. The result feels less like watching a show and more like getting swept into someone’s strange, hilarious dream.... full review

Party Boy is half experimental artpiece, half whispered poem, half a sweet reflection of how i’ve felt at parties in the past - made into art to help us love ourselves better. I loved seeing how sincerely Adam treats everything in this show while also being a strange vacant absurdist. You know the moments at parties when your friend or you just has to eat some chocolates staring at a wall for a while? I do. And i know adam does too. ... full review

A fun romp through anxiety, whee!... full review

I had seen Adam Smith's previous work, so I came in expecting to be entertained and he did not disappoint. Party Boy follows a man seemingly searching for connection amid the chaos of his own party, at least as I interpreted it. The show is an immersive experience driven by a character whose awkward, unpredictable energy evokes the spirit of Andy Kaufman and Zach Galifianakis. Much of the humor comes from watching him navigate his own discomfort, creating moments that are both cringeworthy and hilarious.... full review

Chaotic at first but came together! Felt kind of dadaesque as a style but also felt like a 1 man show defying both tropes in such a manner... full review

A moving, funny, endearingly awkward performance. I greatly enjoyed my time at the party and feel prepared to explore my own social circle more fully now. Thank you, Adam.... full review
