Amazing characterization by a super committed actor. It was surreal and humorous. I loved Joshua's strong voice and his absurd view of everything. It's obvious that he is a skilled and experienced actor. It would be incredible to see him do Shakespeare.

Was very entertained. The personification of a God that has lost all his followers begs the question of what really is his purpose? As he explains with his beautiful writing why bad things happen and what the intent is of a God of one's own understanding is, we are sent on a thought provoking journey that I think would raise questions among even greatest of spiritual believers. It's done in a very entertaining way with characters that are humorous and sensitive and vulnerable in a way that as an audience member, I was able to find great empathy. Incredibly acted and very well written. Thank you for the ride!...

Marvelous, delightful and poignant. The fear of mortality addressed indirectly from the unlikeliest of perspectives. Visceral and real, the character's journey at turns comedic, and desperate. There was never a moment I wasn't anxious to witness his struggle. And there is always the wondering, the questioning, will now be the moment? ...
