The Last PowerPoint

Still waters run deep in this wacky, brilliant, charming, funny-as-hell solo show. This artist may fool you with his affable smile, his boyish good looks, his rhythmic and ridiculous dance moves, and that mop of amazing copper penny hair. What you need to know about the last PowerPoint is that the guy who brings us the ridiculous is actually informing us about some deeply thought-out constructs about the corporate jungle. ... full review

Loved, loved, loved it. From the beginning (which I could only appreciate later) to the end. Outstanding.... full review

The show was refreshing, engaging and fun to witness and most of all unpredictable. Ben has a sweetness and vulnerability which really made me care about this failing desperado salesman character. I loved that he made us, the audience participate in his own disincorporation. ... full review

A spectacularly weird and plotted tale of capitalism, corporate greed, and American values, with the aloofly charming Ben Nicholson leading the charge.... full review

Like nothing else at Fringe, I guarantee you.... full review

An alternately demented, delightful, and hilarious deconstruction of sales pitches and corporations, cutting to the heart of our capitalist culture and the art of performance and presentation.... full review

Ben Nicholson has created a comic work that on its face looks like a frustrated young salesmen that has been put in his place by an irate tech guru (played by stage manager Pam Noles), who has not been paid for their services. This one is so much fun and was the perfect culmination to an interesting day of fringing.... full review

An adorable, purposefully uncomfortable look into work, life and death. The Last Power Point brings a fun, potato-based, perspective into what work-life-balance really means. ... full review

So good in so many ways. It's dark, ironic, absurd, hilarious, poignant with an existentialist twist. Ben manages to pack heavy themes into a show that feels playful and funny and afterwards forces you to actually think about your life and what you should do with your time on earth. ... full review
