The Movement You Need (a work in progress)

I think every fringe solo artist this year gets a chance to see two shows by Brendan and watch someone with incredible technique, grace, and confidence showcase a show he's done for years and this show, a workshop. For me, it's inspiring to watch someone work seemingly without fear or insecurity, connect onstage with a story and let it unfold in whatever manner it's going to that night. There's a freedom that Brendan exemplifies in this work, and it's perfectly fringy. ... full review

Brendan Hunt is a master of the solo show. Rarely does a performer connect so honestly and sincerely with an audience while simultaneously having them howl with delight AND moved to tears. It's even more remarkable when the show you attend is the preview of a show in progress. He commands the stage with a combined presence of a classic physical comedian (say Stan Laurel) and a compelling diva (say Jennifer Holliday or Sutton Foster). If I could, I would see this show over and over, but it is sold out. ... full review
