What I liked

Michael’s intricate details about his family. It’s like we knew them at the end of the show. It was so beautiful. He did such a good job connecting with the audience as well – you forgot there was a crowd, and that is a feat! He made you feel like you were sitting at a kitchen table so we were all at ease to FEEL. So beautiful, Michael, …I’m sincerely so damn proud of you. Gorgeous.

What I didn't like

Absolutely nothing.

My overall impression

One of, if not, my favorite Fringe production thus far. Michael has a true and heart-wrenching story and does it with such finesse, he will have you laughing one minute and crying the next. This show is so intimate, personal, and lovely and it was refreshing to see someone spill their guts while performing instead of performing to “put on a show”…this is how art, in all forms, should be. He was a master at ending the stories at the right time and the transitions added so very much to the entire show..it was sincerely lovely. Please put this up again somewhere and tell me when!
