Hal’s writing is really lovingly crafted, weaving us through one story to the next, allowing us to explore sexuality with him, reminding us of our own awkward experiences, and fondly remembering the moments that cracked our hearts open. The tech design does wonders to expand the tale he tells and he guides us to a place of hard won peace. Maybe being anxious isn’t something to be so worried about.
What I didn't like
More dicks, Hal.
My overall impression
Hal’s show is a beautifully crafted and lovingly told tribute to the truth that we’re never really done growing up. His performance is honest and from the heart, his stories are hilarious and relatable, and the show is a smooth blend of warm melancholy and hope. Hal reminds me of storytellers like David Sedaris and Mike Birbiglia. I loved it, and Hal is an easy performer to love.
