Dillis

Dillis was a wild ride, a commentary on masculinity (and also nothing at all), supremely ridiculous, and I loved every minute. Brianna is an incredibly skilled clown with an acute sense of the audience. She deftly builds and breaks tension, and invites you to play with her, all while maintaining a slight air of danger.

This show may be a work in progress, but the character feels incredibly well-developed. ... full review
