Funny, honest, tender show that is all too relatable. Great physical comedy! Christine really shines bringing the painful truth to light with fun clown work. ... full review

Very funny, skillful cast and touching story that ties the fantastical to harsh reality. ... full review

SO playful, clever, and truly had me on the edge of my seat by the "third act". Skillful use of very simple props, lighting, and sound. Ann is a joy to watch. ... full review

Beautiful, wholesome clownery from both acts. It was truly the perfect way to start the weekend. I left with a full cup and feeling inspired and less alone. ... full review

An endearingly honest, whimsical, playful CLOWN show. And I do not use the word "clown" liberally. Big belly laughs and beautiful tender moments. ... full review

I was so inspired by this, I went home and immediately started beating out new solo show idea. It's a terrible and clichéd idea that I won't be doing BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT!!! That point is that this show was so inventive, hilarious, playful, risky, and truthful, that I left NEEDING to get to work!!! I haven't seen a show that inspired me this much since the first time I saw Courtney Pauroso's Gutterplum. ... full review

A funny, sharp, and relevant skewering of American gun politics and the compartmentalization capitalism requires of us. I bursted out laughing several times, and was also made to sit with a gnawing in my gut, as I wondered what I would do in these characters' situation. A testament to the empathic writing and acting! ... full review

Meg delivers a funny, deeply personal, and brutally honest introspection into her upbringing shaped by her Chinese-American identity, difficult home life, and reckoning of personal and societal biases as an adult. And despite is being deeply personal, she brings out the universal feelings of self-doubt, judgement, otherness, regret, and forgiveness that we could all relate to. ... full review

Yusuf has written a charming, funny comedy that is brought to light be fun, engaging ensemble. From the experiences of some of best friends, I know that the immigration process can be horribly frustrating, dehumanizing, and sometimes heartbreaking. Bravo to Yusuf for creating this play to speak to those experiences and make us laugh along the way. ... full review

Profound, moving show that does exactly as the poster suggests, flips grief on its head. I walked away with a shaken, expanded perception of the subject, and I do not doubt that it will come to mind when it is inevitably my turn to grieve something or someone. ... full review
