This was so funny and relatable. I laughed out loud so many times, and I felt genuine frustration and outrage that a woman this talented has had such rotten dating experiences. MEN - DO BETTER! ...

Moving, beautiful, well-written and VERY well performed...if you've ever lived outside of the U.S., this show will touch your heart. Get ready to laugh, and maybe bring a few kleenex just to be safe....
