Izzy is a masterful storyteller who captivated the audience through his vulnerable and hilarious show. His magic and "perfect" segues were disarming and revelatory and the whole theatre was on this deeply personal journey with him at every turn because he engaged us so beautifully.... full review

This beautiful and hysterical and moving show was inventive and fast paced and marvelous. I felt like Alex was talking about the core of me (of all of us) as she shared her grief and humor.
