What I liked
The intertwined humor, honesty and joy Kel exhibits in their comedy is perfectly translated to this show. A spoken-word solo show is only as entertaining as its performer (and director, Mitra Jouhari, also a pro at this kind of show), and not only is Kel entertaining, but their deftness in writing and performing a show whose potentially overwhelming subject matter is always hand-in-hand with a perfect joke/heartwarming story/dance(!) is beyond impressive. I already felt lucky to know Kel before this show, and afterwards I somehow feel even luckier to be told their story.
What I didn't like
I could offer no improvements. The core of the show is so strong and solid that whatever alterations Kel wants to make to future versions on their own terms would be more than supported. I hope to get to see everything they do with it.
My overall impression
Kel’s journey to self-actualization through the joys and pains of gender identity, expression, medicine, and the connections we have with friends, family, partners and strangers, is all hilariously, heartwarmingly explored in a spoken-word solo show complete with jokes, slides, dancing, and amazing handmade props.
