Jill Young is a comedic force to be reckoned with. She’s funny and, more importantly, so cool. She’s got characters! She’s got bits! It’s super fun and constantly surprising. I enjoyed it immensely and can’t wait to see what Jill and calliope cook up next... full review

What a wonderful evening! I had a blast watching and listening to Jason Saturday night. It felt like a party. We danced, we talked with the others in the house. Jason did some truly outlandish performance art. So much fun, Jason is so interesting and so funny... full review

What an amazing show. Hilarious, important without being preachy. Stellar performances across the board. Amazing script. It’s kind of a perfect show. It reminded me of a great episode of mash. I loved that it never got to terrible, but you felt the possibility of the worse possible situation at all times. This show is a must see... full review

I’m just 15 minutes, James manages to make you laugh at and think about the patriarchy and its effects on everyone else in this world. James is funny and honest. I left the theater feeling proud for him... full review

Missionary Positions

Dan is a master storyteller. He’s both funny and earnest, and his presence on stage is both commanding and comforting. With Dan, you never have to worry about the show going off the rails. From the very top of the show until the final bow, the audience feels safe in Dan’s huge hands.... full review
