Smart - LOL funny - Gezellig!!!!!
Brendan Hunt is national treasure - a coming of age story of finding ones self in five very formative years in Amsterdam. Drop dead funny - no surprise there - but this show supplied a lot of deep belly laughs that had a full house roaring. Hunt an engaging performer does not disappoint. SEE THIS SHOW!...

I was curious what it would be like to see one of my favorite actors ever NOT playing a role in this, his autobiographical solo show… Would I feel deprived of his unpredictable characterizations? Would I be distracted by a *certain* TV show’s cultural impact? Worse yet, would I find myself comparing him to the endlessly entertaining fictional incarnations he’s brought to life in the past, and feel maybe…disappointed?

You really don’t have to be a TL fan to enjoy the ride (dare I say “trip”). If you relate to: liking sex, learning to avoid regret, and fighting a version of buzzing negativity in your head, the show will hit the same resonant frequency in your soul, despite any well-placed voice cracks. But being a fan made my appreciation for his MAIN character sooo much richer. #vindicated...

This show made my want to visit my cousins in Amsterdam again. Really fun ride into the crazy and wild experiences of Brendan when he was starting out in comedy. Loved the language and humor. It was fast-paced, which I prefer in solo shows. ...
