Flayed

For something bizarrely poignant and hilarious, shocking and completely fascinating, this beautifully crafted solo piece is not to be missed. Totally unexpected and very effective. The writer/performer Josiah is incredibly talented, his physical/vocal work is super impressive. He is truly a force to be witnessed and he has delivered a top notch Fringe show. ... full review

Flayed is a powerful show impeccably performed by Josiah. Josiah bounces from one character to the next with swift precision. He is a force and a joy to watch onstage. The show is dark and bold and raw and beautiful. ... full review

Flayed is an incredible show -- a wild ride!! I've never seen anything like it. Not only is Josiah's performance amazing, it's just SO creative! The audience participation, the sound and lighting design, the use of the space, the props and costumes... it's completely unpredictable, vulnerable, and oh yeah, hilarious.... full review

My overall impression of the show is that it's a truly special piece of art that doubles as a daring exploration of sexuality & identity under the thumb of institutionalized religion and a stellar showcase of Josiah Blount's abilities as a performer. It's as hilarious as it is devastating, as clever as it is insane and extremely impactful as a whole.... full review

This show was impressive to say the absolute least. The writing and acting took me on an emotional journey with beautiful and painful ways of relating to the human experience. ... full review

Flayed is one of the best shows I’ve seen in a long time. Josiah is an amazing story teller. You drop right into his mind as he visually captures you on an hilarious and emotional journey. Would watch over and over again! Phenomenal performance! ... full review

We lost count as to how many characters were brought to life in a quick paced 75 min show but that was mainly because we were totally surrendered to believing in every character that Josias brought to life.... full review

Josiah is a creative genius and master performer! He tells a rich and meaningful story that will make you laugh and cry. A must see!!... full review

Josiah has created a phenomenal show. It is the perfect combination of joy, grief, growth, pain, and comedy. One second you are laughing, the next you are uncomfortably quiet and contemplating your own life decisions and traumas (in the best way). Josiah has this truly beautiful talent of taking you on a journey with his storytelling, every second is engaging. Highly recommend seeing this if you need a giggle and want to see a wonderful human share an incredible story. ... full review
