My overall impression
I pretty much loved every single minute of this hilarious tale of race, sexuality and his stubborn attempt to not engage in family draaaaammmaaaaa. Figured it would be good, but had no idea it would be that good!
Les Kurkendaal does these amazing shorthand descriptions of all of these people he had to deal with as he walks you through what happened to him and it just works perfectly. Another thing I like about it was this could easily have been a mean show, but it wasn’t! As he is mocking the occasionally unfortunate opinions and actions of the family, Kurkendaal also manages to highlight their fundamental humanity. I thought that was a graceful touch.
Also, very smart to just go ahead and answer the questions that, frankly, I was planning to ask as soon as the show was over. And probably everybody else, too.
Everybody should go see this. It’s really fun.
