Highly polished with great production value
This production is simultaneously minimalist and provides the audience with a very polished show, with the set pieces and props that are used being that much more impactful. The costumes are fabulous and the movement is well rehearsed and at times mind-blowing in its cleverness. The ensemble are great together and the script has some very funny moments that had the entire house laughing. Joshua and Natalie make a great duo, each bringing their own larger-than-life style of performance to their characters. It's almost like it had a post-credits scene.

Vulnerable and Heartfelt
A series of vignettes interspersed with a killer soundtrack (release the mixtape on Spotify, the people demand it!), this show was unexpectedly emotional and touching from someone whose comedic chops I've enjoyed for years and years. There is so much physicality to the performance that you almost forget that it's a solo show, even with austere set and restrained use of tech. It's a really beautiful and revealing show that left the audience beaming with pride at how much The Boy had overcome to get to where he is today and with a simple message that you never truly know anyone's story until they share it with you. Highly recommend!
