What I liked

Everything. Quite literally. From the moment Drew turned to face the audience with a fur baby surprise, to the absolutely genuine laughter, to my gut wrenching, to the tears that ran down my cheeks (multiple times). This is my favorite.

What I didn't like

My overall impression

I want Drew to tell me stories everyday. I really feel like I cannot put into words how this show made me feel other than…everything on the spectrum of emotions. I laughed, cried, felt like I was in the most well constructed therapy session of my life, I wanted to meditate, I wanted to participate in the conversation, I wanted to reach out and hug him.

I sat in the front row and typically that makes me feel insanely uncomfortable, not knowing the performer(s) or anything about what I’m about to watch… but I immediately felt connected to Drew, as if he were already a friend. I found that my usual unfocused eyes were completely affixed on him. I couldn’t stop feeling like I was the only person in the room and we were just having a chat. A very emotional chat to say the least, but a chat. If you’re searching, (or even if not) for something, anything in your life…this journey is one you MUST GO ON! Relatable, intelligent, witty, kind, engaging, beautiful, passionate, intriguing, hilarious!…there are just simply not enough adjectives in the English language. Drew, you have won. This is perfection. “Be bold, and mighty forces will come to your aid.”
