What I liked
I loved Nick’s intense mannerism and storytelling. He managed to do standup without it feeling anything like standup and doing a solo show without it feeling like a one-person performance. He was with us as the audience and I so appreciated how raw and honest he allowed himself to be.
What I didn't like
What the heck?! How could I answer this?! What a dumb box!
My overall impression
I absolutely loved this show and highly recommend it. Nick’s presence and intensity onstage is magnetic and my heart was racing the entire time—a reflection of his incredible storytelling. The show is laugh out loud funny with moments balancing between silly and dark humor, but equally finds its way into depths that had tears dropping out of my eyeballs. I did not want the show to end and would see it again. Nick is receptive to the room and so present in the story; this balance of being able to flip flop between extremely committed and strong acting chops and sensitivity of live performance is just right for me. It even inspired me with some ideas—-to me it doesn’t get better than that and that’s when I know I’m seeing good art…..it makes me want to make my own art.
