What I liked

I particularly loved his obsessive brownie eating, which I totally related to, and the way he tried to hide it from us, which I also totally related to. I liked the welcoming inclusive relationship he had with the audience. I was honored when he made me a paper party hat. He hands out snacks. I was really glad I went. I think it’s a show that will stay with me.

What I didn't like

I don’t have anything. I had that feeling that I was in good hands.

My overall impression

Charming, quirky, and utterly original. Adam Smith has a really oddball sense of humor, and you can feel all the intelligence and thought and warmth behind it. The overall experience reminded me of going to a kid’s birthday party as a kid and being surprised by all the weird things the kid was into.
