MATTHEW MARTIN certified reviewer June 28, 2023
Walking into this show, I knew nothing of Brandon, only people telling me that I needed to see it. And they were right. This show is excellent. From the start Brandon takes you right into his problem of looking Indian, but not knowing anything about what it means to be Indian. His script and performance are so on point that you can easily picture every scene he walks into and every character he steps into. His characterizations are just amazing and he shifts between characters with such precision and perfection. His show is hilarious. It's also extremely honest, vulnerable and unapologetic. His physicalities are just ridiculous. I mean that as a compliment. He moves through dance, martial arts, and physical comedy with such ease. I... full review

Brandon Raman, with incredible ease, takes the audience on a personal story of strife, sadness and finding one's own identity that anyone can personally connect to. While his tale is specific to him, it carries a humanity and vulnerability anyone can associate with. So many times he had the audience fully immersed, laughing, clapping, relishing in the various emotions of the unknown, and gladly going along on the ride he takes us on. The talent displayed in this show is phenomenal and Brandon does an incredible job separating characters, creating humor, touching hearts and bringing us all on this journey. I can't wait to see him do this again over and over.... full review

Brilliantly performed and executed by Brandon! The writing took us to deep places only a true warrior could have navigated us through; growing up in white washed America, searching for identity, and showing us all how to ultimately finding our authenticity within our own selves. Has my vote for Best Solo performance!... full review

Wowwy wow! Brandon Raman is a superstar! How he didn’t break a sweat after that tour de force is beyond me. I laughed and cried and laughed some more. Brandon is so lovable and bananas talented, and this show was an excellent showcase for him. The direction was tight and they nailed tech elements. Gorgeous!... full review

I Can't Indian Good was one of the best shows at Hollywood Fringe this year!!! Brandon is a physical comedy genius; an expert at utilizing his whole body and the entire stage to express all the different characters throughout the show. Brandon has one of THE BEST acting performances at Hollywood Fringe. I was taken aback by his ability to truly transform between characters, distinguishing each character into vastly unique creative expressions. ... full review

MORANI KORNBERG certified reviewer June 17, 2023
Brandon's show is entertaining, engaging, and a must-see, especially for those of us (myself included) who deal with hyphenated identities in this "American" bubble. His physical performance is unparalleled (damn, how do you do that?!) and his characters are carefully and thoughtfully crafted. ... full review
