What I liked

How good this show is at blurring the line between darkly bizarre and hysterical. Ben’s audience interaction and his disappearing act throughout the show was awesome. He used basically a blank stage, his actual stage manager and created a show that succeeded immensely because of his ability to hit on every one of his bits. His comedic timing was impeccable with an uncanny ability of how long to let jokes linger and when to abruptly stop them. I really enjoyed the entire hour I was there and in way that was surprising and refreshing. If you haven’t seen this show yet, go see it now.

What I didn't like

Nothing.

My overall impression

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.
