There were so many different story telling elements at work in this show and they were masterfully woven together to create real and true theater for our time. We need this show! Thank you so much for having such a great show in the fringe.... full review

Such a great moment for the topic of this show. Joyful commands the stage and makes you feel at home as she unfolds her story offering perspective on a very hot subject right now: abortion. She treats the topic with such tenderness and power, the combo is electrifying. I am so glad she is sharing her story, especially at this time. It reminds me how human and personal this decision is, and frankly none of my damn business. So I got to listen and learn from someone who's been through it. And she tells it so well, I laughed and I cried. ... full review

Joyful’s story is so amazing. Her way of capturing realness with humor is elite. I was in awe throughout the performance and her ability to bring the audience into the stories was remarkable. Her story can be very inspirational for people whom have been in her type of situation as well. And she’s just a great human and fantastic story teller. Loved it! ... full review

Breed or Bust is a very entertaining, funny, vulnerable, real story that invites the audience to sit sit with and hopefully reflect on the nuances of modern day womanhood. ... full review

This show blew me away! It's a must-see for people who feel like their life's journey doesn't fit the mold. There are so many thoughts people have about whether to have kids-- ones that we often NEVER say aloud. But Joyful addresses them head-on, unafraid to share what so many people wonder -- "Are we less loving if we don't have kids?"... full review

Joyful is a masterclass in solo theatre! Her preview was a triumph! She is extremely genuine and is unapologetically herself in the best possible way. This show is very relevant and speaks to women everywhere. ... full review
