What I liked
EVERYTHING, bro. In all seriousness, I was not expecting to get so emotional during this show. It’s not surface level humor. The characters have depth, full arcs and portray deep humanity under their masterful comedic delivery. It’s an impressive feat of artistry.
What I didn't like
NOTHING, bro. Males are perfect, obviously.
My overall impression
Strong Stoic Straitz is an hour-long gold mine. It is just what the doctor ordered. On the surface is seems like a silly jab at the manosphere, podcast world and the modern male — but there is a tenderness and humanity underneath it all that makes you feel all the things while you’re laughing hysterically. I had a smile on my face from start to finish. The jokes come at such a speed and never stop, the songs make you want to sing-along and the actors truly embody their characters. Absolute cudos to the cast & crew, you can see the joy they have in performing together, the chemistry is palpable. The show surgically deconstructs the post-modern male without becoming over politically and “alienating half the audience bro”. It’s a master-stroke in writing. In a world where everything is too serious and no one has enough fun, go see this show. When you do, I can guarantee you will leave with a smile. #longliveICKYD
