I've had the pleasure of watching David Pavao develop his one-man shows, and each one has been better than the last.

David Pavao's theatre work never ceases to amaze and delight. Poster Child: How Charlie's Angels Kicked My Ass Out of The Closet is an absolute gem of a solo show. Both incredibly funny and equally moving, it's a wonderful coming of age piece that particularly struck home for me as another child of the 70's and early 80's finding my true self in this fantastic age of television. However, the humor and endearing pathos is aimed at a much wider audience, which was evident given the diverse audience mix present when I saw the show and their overall enthusiastic reaction. I can't wait to see what David might have for us in the years to come. Bravo David!... full review
