What I liked

The jokes were clever, true laugh out loud moments from start to finish, I was so engrossed the entire time with the story and the performances and delivery (comedic timing AND dramatic moments) were excellent. It was funny as well as grounded in very relatable sincere emotion, all the elements fit together so seamlessly. I don’t get to just relax and enjoy stuff without being taken out of it for some reason or other very often and this had me completely enthralled.

What I didn't like

I’ve been thinking about it all day and wouldn’t change anything! I was that impressed!

My overall impression

I was blown away by this show. I was literally laughing and smiling the entire hour, this was such a smart, entertaining experience I’m sad I didn’t get to see it until the last show or I’d have gone again. What a delightful hour this was, to say the least! It had me in a good mood the rest of the day, I enjoyed this show so much. This was probably the fastest standing ovation I’ve ever seen, it was so unanimously, enthusiastically given and very well deserved!
