What I liked

I enjoyed the honesty and vulnerability and I thought Olivia had a charming presence. The humor was very smartly observed.

What I didn't like

I felt that the thematic linking of the stories sometimes wasn’t clear – though each anecdote all had a point in themselves about halfway through I lost the thread of what the stories had to do with the larger show – though it was explained in the end, it didn’t feel like it built to that point. I also wanted to hear more about the man she was breaking up with – why was she attracted to him? How did she realize he was wrong and how does that relate to the stories?

My overall impression

Olivia is a very talented, honest performer. She understands how to tell a funny story, and is willing to reveal her own vulnerabilities on stages
