What I liked

The performance was phenomenal. You get a character study and a magic show all in one! Management and the space itself were wonderful. We stumbled upon this show because another show we had tickets to had locked their doors one minute past their go time (my fault so not anticipating traffic, I know I know), so we found this one on the Fringe site and made a last minute decision to check it out. So glad we did!

What I didn't like

n/a

My overall impression

A beautifully acted solo performance the tugs you back and forth over the thin line of comedy and tragedy. It delivers on its promise of great comedy bits but also serves up unexpected beats of sadness as we learn about the struggles of a man always striving for validation.
