What I liked

First of all, Bill is so likeable that it makes the show a joy to watch, I had a smile on the whole time (except when the show got into the more serious spots). And the jokes peppered through the script are specific, hilarious, and most importantly, true. He talks to the audience as if each person was a close friend. The added imagery on the TV was a plus too and it really accentuated his storytelling. One of the best and authentic one man shows I’ve seen.

What I didn't like

Nothing. Maybe he could show some video to eat up time while he changed clothes, I would like to see him get more costumed up for his character bits.

My overall impression

An extremely funny, very thoughtful, and cleverly written show that shows us that people exist far beyond the boxes society puts them in. Not only is it a delightfully revealing one man show about Bill, it’s about the problems this country still deals with when it comes to race and identity. This was one of the best shows I’ve seen this Fringe.
