Absolutely stellar - comes on like a rocket and doesn't stop. Rodney Gardiner is a master of comedy and storytelling and has hit a sweet spot with this poignant story about the death of his dad. It's funny because it's true - and he pulls no punches. ... full review

Rodney does a fantastic job of bringing an intersectional experience to the stage. His candor, comedic timing and the juxtaposition of his earthly and Heavenly Father make for an amazing hour of humor, emotion and entertainment. Tangentially his craftsmanship as an actor is highlighted through a combination of voice work, storytelling and a gravitas that’s worth every dollar spent. This show is one to see, one to hear and most of all, one to feel. ... full review
