Derek performed a very impactful and funny hour as Stan the vampire. Both moving and comical, it exceeded my expectations and ended up being an hour that was poignant and very funny. ... full review

“I SUCK” is a comedy with well crafted jokes and heart. The unique characters of the show are all expertly played by writer and star Derek Hereen. My entire family was impressed with his ability to bring life - and different styles of humor and pathos - to such a variety of intertwined characters. He will be an actor and writer to watch for in future endeavors. Praise should be give to both the Director for helping Mr. Hereen find that effective balance of comedic timing and storytelling at a perfect pace and to the lighting team to adding an integral design element to the nearly bare staging. I highly recommend this show. ... full review

The show was very well done. The pacing, direction, and use of the lights made it easy to follow the character/period changes without being too much. This enabled the performance to be the focus. The different voices, coupled with the change in Derek's posture/position were very effective.... full review

Right at the top of my list of favorite comedies this Fringe. If you didn't see it, I feel sorry for you. Hopefully, it comes back, because I'd see it again!... full review

Derek Heeren’s I SUCK brings life to the stage—pretty good for the undead! The characters are inspired, and he inhabits them perfectly. Yes, it’s funny, but it is also poignant. If you’ve felt stuck like Stan, I SUCK just might help you get unstuck. If you’re completely happy with your life, well, you will be even happier watching this play!... full review
