Excellent pacing. The writing is witty, engaging, honest, thoughtful, and just plain funny. Just when you think this will be a show where humor will be the star, he slowly draws you close to the pain lying underneath from an experience that has shaped him. Stefan’s comfort on stage is evident…simply put—he’s just a fantastic actor and writer. The mark of a good show is one that stays with you, makes you think and talk about it on the car ride home. This is worth the hour and then some.
What I didn't like
Truly, nothing.
My overall impression
From the jump, the audience knew they were in capable hands. While many one person shows may suffer from an earnest energy that begs to be understood, Stefan’s indelible writing and performance style puts you at ease. As his sincere and self-deprecating tone seamlessly moves from sharp observations of the creative process, and this awkward thing we call life, to a meaningful and painful recollection—we are deeply invested. Stefan seems to inherently understand how to walk the line of delivering unassuming humor and honest pain without it ever feeling indulgent or without purpose.
