The Day I Became Black is hilarious and poignant. It is filled with laughter in one moment, cringe-worthy the next, funny again, and finally filled with sad revelations and tears. Bill Posley is absolutely amazing. He left me speechless after his performance and all I can say is thank you. I hope this work continues to be shared with the world. ... full review

Bill Posley spoke the truth about his biracial life to a rapt audience. Equal parts hilarious and heartbreaking, “The Day I Became Black” does an amazing job of explaining the intricacies of racial identity and the racism that is running rampant today in the United States. A definite must see.... full review

A powerful message delivered with a wonderful sense of humor, Bill Poser is a masterful raconteur and his show THE DAY I BECAME BLACK is a masterclass in comedic storytelling. Amidst today realities of social and political imperfections(especially as it pertains to race), this shows bring a much needed awareness with sharp writing and humor... George Carlin said, “No one is ever more herself or himself than when they really laugh. Their defenses are down…They are completely open, completely themselves when that message hits the brain and the laugh begins". Bill personifies this message. Certainly one of the best shows at Fringe 2018... full review

One of my top picks of Fringe. I laughed so hard and was stunned to be brought to tears. It was very easy to see how personal this was to Bill. I loved every second of it. ... full review

I have seen some remarkable actors and performances at the many Fringes I have attended over the years. Talent that deserves to reach the highest heights possible – but I have seen only a handful of true stars. Bill Polsey is now one of them. A Platinum Medal... full review

This show is a tour de force! The Day I Became Black is a gripping rollercoaster ride of emotions. It’s funny, timely, honest, informed, and so wonderfully performed that viewers know exactly who Bill Posely is and has always been. I am beyond impressed by this amazing show. Kudos to him, his director, and the Hollywood Fringe for including it in his year’s festival. ... full review

Bill Posley's one man show was impressive, heartfelt and hilarious. He's a truly gifted storyteller and comedian. The house was packed. He masterfully engaged the audience (and make us feel all the feels!) in what felt like it could've been a much longer show. Meaning = I wanted more! I was curious about him and his life and his perspective. Posley is great. See this show! ... full review

Bill Posley just brought the house down. Fierce, funny, ferocious and funky, this journey of identity had me from the first assured moment and danced with me til the end. The writing and performance are honest, self-effacing and always welcoming. Most importantly, Bill makes the most important solo show choice: he takes us through his journey in real time so we get to experience his challenges and triumphs. And this is one. I was tempted to just write #mikedrop. This is a POWERHOUSE of a show. Thank you. ... full review

I had been hearing about this show. The buzz was real. And last night, by chance, I was able to see it! Just in the right place at the right time. I'm so so happy I got to see this show. What an incredibly hilarious and moving life story. He was funny and charming and had the audience in the palm of his hand. ... full review
