One of the most creative entrances I've ever seen an actor make ;)
This is an artfully done show- polished and well-written. One of the most important things about a solo-show is feeling safe- can I trust you with an hour of my time?

Coming out stories of an autobiographical nature are always heartfelt, but Adrian Eli goes beyond that and shares his emotions from the depths of his soul.

Must see! Fringe at it's best!
I loved everything about this show. It was witty, intelligent, emotional, and there wasn’t one second where I wasn’t entertained. One man shows sometimes get a bad rap, but this one was amazing. ...

BABY BOY exceeded my expectations. I showed up to support a friend and what I got in return was a weird, funny, heartfelt emotional, and incredibly beautiful experience. I was wowed not only by Adrian's performance and talent, but the writing itself and his ability to mix ideas to great dramatic effect. In short... it was powerful....
