What I liked

Vanessa Lua is a very engaging performer with a good sense of comic timing and an appreciation of the absurd. Her personal story is told with a dash of self-mockery at her own lack of awareness and grandiose expectations, and the teddy bear is a nice comic foil for her story.

What I didn't like

By the time it got to the list of men she met on Tinder I became a bit restless and felt that I was losing the arc of the story. They also (some of them) seemed like inventions, whereas much of the rest of the story seemed entirely plausible.

My overall impression

An enjoyable and occasionally very funny journey through the trials and tribulations of trying to learn to enjoy sex while remaining a Catholic, told by a charming comedienne.
