What I liked

Short zingy bits that hit all the right comedic notes. Amazing vocal performances and musical talent. An oddball organization of not only the comic vignettes but the set and the “couple of other people as well”. On stage jokes, and commitment to bizarre characters whose comic value sneaks up on you.

What I didn't like

Gun to my head, I’d like to have seen more bits. Don’t get me wrong, the music was great but it would have been nice to see more gags.

My overall impression

Goldstein is a one-woman variety show ranging from off-beat Kaufman-esque comedy to enthralling vocal/music performances. Right off the bat, Goldstein lets you know that this is her show and she’ll do whatever the fuck she wants, whether you like it or not – and the confidence and tenacity behind that makes it easier and more enjoyable for the audience to enjoy the ride. Goldstein holds the reigns of the show with wild curiosity and eccentricity; she’s pretty much living all our childhood dreams of “If I had MY own show”.
