What I liked

I like the raw honesty and intimate window into one man’s life. I also like that if felt like a conversation with the audience rather than a distant one man show.

What I didn't like

I would have loved a more clear ending. To find out what his life is like now after all these events took place.

My overall impression

Wonderfully captivating and engaging from start to finish. Starting with waking up to the Woolsey Fire in Malibu and being evacuated from his home on a moments notice, he is somehow able to bring a comedic lightness to an otherwise devastating situation. Michael brings you in to his world of loss, love and celebration in his own heartfelt and comedic way that leaves you both laughing and crying. Each vignette or story threads together a beautiful picture; one of gratitude, awe, mystery, and love.
