What I liked
Michael undoubtedly demonstrated such great physical comedy skills. And there’s real difficulty in speaking directly to your audience and telling a story in a relaxed, simple, interesting way, and Michael did that with total ease. I was so impressed!
What I didn't like
If anything, I look forward to seeing how the show might change after bringing in more lighting, music, and set design. But I also really appreciate the show’s minimal tech in its current form, as that choice really allowed me to fully focus on Michael’s storytelling.
My overall impression
Dickin’ Around is equal parts hilarious and touching. Michael has written a show with a really nice arc to it— he cleverly and deftly weaves together elements from his first 5 minutes onstage with moments later on. Highly recommend as I expect those with and without dicks alike will relate to the character’s plight!
