Hilarious show that never takes it's foot off the gas. You will laugh non-stop in this theatrical meta thrill ride!... full review

Time and energy well spent! GREAT show!... full review

Matt Richey is bonkers in this. At moments cringeworthy, at moments magical, Richey's Travis makes you love him. The "one-man show" aspects of the piece could weave together a bit cleaner, but maybe that's the point that they don't. Jim Niedzialkowski is a great foil for all of the mayhem. Blackboxing is a really great example of what a fringe show should be.... full review

Hilarious!... full review

A hilarious parody of a solo show anyone in LA has most likely been forced to sit through. Perfectly written, performed and directed, this joyful ride of a play is filled with hot tips and inside jokes... I probably should have watched this show BEFORE putting up my own solo show. Funny and engaging, Matt and Jim are perfection together as they tear each other apart and lead us through the inner workings of a stage show gone terribly awry. You'll laugh, as a solo show performer you'll probably cringe and feel the need to apologize to the world and you'll leave begging can someone get that damn song out of my head?!? ... full review

This is as much a sly how-to guide as a how-not-to comedy roller coaster. Matt wields a library of tropes and cringeworthy personality hemorrhages to castigate those of us who, well, showed up late and didn't finish the rewrites.... full review

Long-time Fringe veteran Matt Richey has mounted his best show ever, a show that would sweep the Tonys if it was on Broadway. It told the story that every stage manager has probably experienced at one time or another, and allowed said Stage Manager to say and do things they’ve always dreamed of doing.... full review

A fantastic, high energy, laugh out loud one man TOUR DE FORCE! It reminded me what absolute FUN it can be to go to the theatre. A MUST SEE.... full review

MY FACE HURTS. Make it stop. This show made my cheeks hurt from smiling and laughing. I said STOP.... full review

A very smart parody of the one-man show, Ritchey shows his talent in creation and characterization in surprising and engaging ways.... full review
