I really enjoyed the show. The show deals with the serious issue of homelessness but comes at it from a comedic direction. So you are not hit over the head with the message but the message is also not diminshed by the comedic approach. The direction is interesting and engaging.

I was immersed into a street sidewalk the moment I found a seat to watch the show which is part of the charm of New Kid On The Block: homeless person roaming around the stage, begging audience for money, a couple sitting on their cell phones ignoring them, pedestrians walking by... By the time the show begins, I felt I was familiar with this story, as an Angeleno who sees this scene almost everywhere and have debated whether or not help a homeless person or simply pretend they’re invisible....

While I respect wanting to shine a light on what a serious problem homelessness is, this show mishandled the message it tried to impart. It wants to be ridiculous fun, it wants to be meaningful, but was ultimately neither....

A very interesting and instructive story of life lessons, it can all be transferred to the present. Studying in college, I would say that it is a school of life, so sometimes you have to use resources to help you in your studies <a href="https://www.bestdissertation.com/literature_review_writing.html">https://www.bestdissertation.com/literature_review_writing.html</a> In order not to have such a life situation as the main character, you need to learn well in college. And yes, the comedy is normal, I laughed for a long time...

"New Kid on the Block" took a problem that is challenging this city and the country, and approached it with respectful humor. The cast was sharp, and at 30 minutes, it's a great and quick Fringe show to attend....

A fun light show about homelessness and the exploitive nature of social media. Sometimes funny, sometimes poignant. This show hits a lot of good notes....
