More Joy: A Mumoir

pamela l paek · June 28, 2025 certified reviewer
I love that Suz's show has an impact beyond making us laugh at her being vulnerable about aspects of her life. Our "failures" and those moments where we judge and shame ourselves too harshly, whenever we're alone? Suz turns those over into such hilarious and relatable moments. She models what it's like to be empowered and emboldened in the messiness we all are. This show has the power to heal people from their shame when we're not always perfect: if we all had this, the world would be so much... full review

The Eddies and the Pypers

pamela l paek · June 28, 2025 certified reviewer
Masterful approach at addressing death and grief, owning and calling out our flaws, and dealing with that inner voice/critic/friend, who we hold onto, can't stand at times, and also can't let go... full review

Todd Macabre

pamela l paek · June 21, 2025 certified reviewer
Todd Macabre is an interactive fun ride filled with childlike wonder and whimsy. It's perfect for the audience that wants to play with the performer. I loved how Ian encouraged that play and silliness -- this is a performer who knows how to be present and use all the gifts from the audience, in real time, to enhance each moment, in unscripted ways. Such a joy! ... full review

To Be Liberated

pamela l paek · June 15, 2025 certified reviewer
"To be liberated" is a quiet powerhouse of a show. The embodiment of "han" for the audience to experience firsthand, was so deeply moving and human, I'm in awe of how big of an impact the show had in just 30 minutes. Instead of telling us about han, we were taken through the actual experience. And han is a complex emotion and concept to explain -- it has to be felt. "To be liberated" 100% delivered on giving the audience that experience. Everything about "To be liberated" is so intentional, f... full review

American Single: Epilogue

pamela l paek · June 22, 2024 certified reviewer
Olivia is a captivating and charismatic performer who dazzles the stage no matter what she's saying or doing. This show is heartfelt, funny, self-aware, and vulnerable, and it was so much fun to see Olivia share her life and learnings on top of making us laugh, cringe, and learn along with her. Go see this show!... full review

The Ramón Show & Friends: Collective Healing

pamela l paek · June 22, 2023 certified reviewer
Ramon is the embodiment of true joy. He has endless amounts to give and share, and brings us in with others who help us live outside of the usual, to experience life in deeper and more meaningful ways. I left feeling lighter and more energized. I had no idea how much I needed some healing and Ramon's show gave me that! I'm so grateful. Ramon is a MUST for everyone in the world!... full review
