What I liked

“Polite Racism” should be taped and put on the internet for both entertaining and educational purposes. It is a gem from beginning to end. Hands down my favorite part of the show. I loved Chris’s writing; his voice is so distinct. In “Suicide Pact”, the performances were as hilarious and absurd as the text itself; I really enjoyed the surrealism of that scene. “Brittle Trombone” is very unique; I enjoyed watching it escalate. And “Fantasy”, I think, will hit a nerve with the male audience. Congrats to everyone and, especially, Chris who created a tight, fast-paced show that points out our own flaws, and makes us laugh at our own shortcomings.

What I didn't like

I could have watched another sketch or two!

My overall impression

Strong writing, highly entertaining, extremely relevant, it leaves you wanting more!
