Brandon is a true powerhouse, and I do not say that lightly. I've never seen a performer like him. This show is funny, compassionate, and beautifully executed. It's an entertaining and sincere piece of art, and it's completely original. Brandon writes and performs from the depths of his heart, with raw self-examination and curiosity, and from the very beginning of the show, it's impossible not to love him. Also, this dude is an acrobat. He moves like he's part of Cirque Du Soleil, and that's no exaggeration. I lost count of the number of talents he has. I think I stopped at like 40.
His gentleness and thoughtfullness come through so clearly that by the end you are in tears and want to give him a big hug...an offer I'm sure he will take you...

What a wonderful show with a beautiful and important message! Brandon's story was uniquely his but also felt very relatable for me given my background and also what I know/have witnessed around the experiences of other people across the color spectrum. I love the various cultural, galactic, fantastical and other interesting elements he weaves throughout the play....

Brandon is doing something very unique with “I Can’t Indian Good” - combining physical comedy, dance, and fight choreography with pure, character driven scenes that make you laugh, cry, laugh again, and then look inward and think about who you are and where you come from.
he’s brilliant with the effortless transitions between all of the above and the meta use of hollywood and bollywood tropes to tell his own very personal story.
this show is so good that i saw it twice and am hoping to be there for the 3rd performance as well. ...

WOW. Brandon Raman is a force to be reckoned with. His physical comedy, dance strength, prowess with language and ability to connect deeply are all on display at this beautiful production. Raman engages with the audience in a story that is deeply specific to his experience, which allows it to ring universally true for any and all audience members that are so lucky as to share the show with him. This show is a gift and deserves to be seen by anyone that has ever felt out of place or disconnected with their community, their identity, or their culture. A true examination on what it means to be Indian, or American, or Indian-American, or, honestly, a human being trying to navigate themselves in the modern day. Raman is the one to watch in the LA...

Wonderful solo show! Brandon brings huge energy, humor, timing, acting chops, and an awesome display raw physical talent to the stage. Lights up and POW--the show is fast-paced, funny, taking you on a literal time warp of ancestral insight and enlightenment. Brandon's seemingly effortless instant transformations into various characters belie his incredible range and talent as an actor. Brandon is an entertainer through and through. Expect to see more of Brandon in the future. ...

I Can't Indian Good brings the audience on a heartfelt and hilarious inter-galactic romp through space and time, and is at once beautifully written and wonderfully performed. Somehow, it speaks to the most deep-seated feelings we all have about not belonging AND puts you into complete stitches at every turn. Absolutely loved it and highly recommend!!...
