Review by PHILLIP KELLY

What I liked

Jim Blanchette is a wonderfully gifted storyteller, and the fact that he enjoys telling stories only helps.
The show is largely about empathy and in many ways how that’s forgotten over the bustle of the Holidays and the art and craft it takes to bring people even a moment of joy amidst the chaos.

What I didn't like

Remove this question from the review, I beg of you.

My overall impression

Salty and sweet. Funny and bittersweet. It’s a journey of the holidays and a passion for an artform that’s easy to overlook from someone who is a natural storyteller.
