What I liked

The show was incredibly personal, but found a way to stay relatable throughout. Matt took a risk, tonally, by mixing tragic events with biting comedy and he completely nailed it. The pacing was also fantastic – every scene and set piece had time to breathe without staying in any one place for too long.

What I didn't like

Hard to give notes on this show – felt like Matt completely owned this performance

My overall impression

A riveting emotional journey that took me from raucous laughter to tears and back again. Matt bares his soul on stage in a raw performance that showcases his immense talent.
