David Rodwin is an incredible talent. He weaves a mesmerizing, modern love story about a young lady that he casually encounters at a gas station. The story wends past cracks and pipes, tubs and shotguns. This is a personal story that has universal implications about our basic need for human connection....

Total Novice is a hysterical, moving and above all engaging tale told by an expert storyteller. David does a magnificent job of drawing the audience into his wild adventure filled with drugs, sex and more than anything else humanity. Thrilled to have seen it, and I'm still thinking about the show the next day. ...

A strange and sordid true-life tale told with skill and humor. Rodwin tells the story of a random Craigslist hook up with a porn actress and points toward issues of class, sexism, and self-worth while taking us on a wild roller coaster ride that is fascinating throughout. Powerful, funny, and thoroughly entertaining. Not only is this a solid evening of theatre and a great story well-told, it's also remarkably touching.

Great show that grabs you from the beginning and never lets go. Fully engaging for 75 minutes, David Rodwin tells a true life tale that makes you want to smack him for being so naive, and then makes you want to hug him for trying so hard to bring out the humanity in a troubled porn actress, while challenging the audience's perceptions in what creates a connection between two people. Highly recommended. ...
