With apparently casual confidence, Laser somehow walks the line of hard truths, honest vulnerability and hilarity while telling the story of transitioning into his manhood. His ability to hold the audience and the stage is clearly a well-honed gift. His songs reveal added dimensions to the tell-tale story that leads us through his journey of discovery and self-acceptance, woven with a historical journey through time, while advocating from the present moment. ... full review
