CLAIRE WAGNER certified reviewer June 12, 2023
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... full review

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. ... full review

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!!... full review

I’ve been fortunate enough to see “I Can’t Indian Good” twice and I can say with confidence, it’s a joy to experience each and every time. Brandon has a unique ability to captivate the audience through the introduction of several, distinct characters.. all of which are performed by himself. It’s incredible talent that shouldn’t be missed! I can promise you you’ll laugh your hardest and be emotionally touched by his story. ... full review

JOSEPH ACEVES certified reviewer June 11, 2023
Best show I've seen all year. Brandon's balance of comedy and drama makes for a great storytelling experience. It's impressive to see one person inhabit different characters so seamlessly and even more impressive that they all inhabit on very meaningful tale that deals with identity. I laughed and cried. If you get a chance to see it, you won't regret you did. Can't wait to rewatch this. ... full review
