What I liked

Harvey’s vision, writing, and acting mesh beautifully to create one of the most riveting pieces of the 2019 Fringe. His definition of the Apocalypse is an intriguing start, and the show only goes up from there. And the riffs he’s composed get stuck in your head for weeks. One of the most unique talents this Fringe.

What I didn't like

I want the riffs from this show available for download. Some of those loops are amazing, and I want to listen to them for like a week straight outside the show.

My overall impression

This is one of the most inventive and exceptional solo shows I’ve seen at Fringe, regardless of year. The story is compelling, and Harvey’s mastery of body language and voice allows him to play at least a dozen different roles, and he masterfully complements his story with his guitar loops without losing the attention of the audience in any one of his shifts. This is one of the most compelling shows I’ve seen this year, and you need to be RUNNING to the next performance of this show. There should not be an empty seat in his house.
