This was an amazing show. A funny, smart, deeply moving account of one man’s journey coming out as bisexual in his 40s, navigating the strange new world (for him) of online “dating”, finding love again, and dealing with the devastating sudden loss of his ex-fiancée/best friend. ... full review

What a fun one-man-show! Hal succeeds in creating a very intimate environment that makes you feel like it's just you and him in the theatre. The story was very well-written and I liked the structure. I found myself laughing out loud at many instances but left the theatre shedding a tear.... full review
