Professional Reviews
-
Weird and preaching acceptance. Funny, fierce, smart, moving and packed with positive messages.
-
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. Very smart and very funny. It’s a bracingly rigorous celebration of human variety. There isn’t a slack moment. This guy deserves a sold out run.
Audience and Peer Reviews
-
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. A great neurodivergent romp through Green Gables, the radical love of Jesus, and enough talk of your parents having sex to traumatize you. Can’t recommend this show enough.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. Honest, funny, heartfelt, and a cute dog. If you're looking for a well put together show that hums along at a good pace... go!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. I laughed a lot AND I cried. Can we be weirdos and feel God’s love and be okay? Happy even? Yes is the definitive answer in this raw, hilarious and heart-piercing piece. Take your heart and your mind to this show. You will be glad you did.
Sue McIntyre
-
Genuinely funny, deeply touching and very relatable. It leaves the audience pondering about life, inclusivity, what it means to be different as well as what makes us who we are.
Nell Richard
-
A show that will make you full belly laugh, break your heart, and warm your heart all magically at the same time.
-
It’s a smart, funny, thought-provoking story, exceptionally performed. You will find yourself lost in the story and glad to be there.

A MUST-see. As powerful as it is hilarious, truly captivating. Audience members can expect to leave the theatre feeling joy, love, and most of all, seen.

Accessibility and Content
Physical accessibility varies by venue. However, the show is designed to have no dramatic light or sound changes. The artist insists, within his influence, that venues institute accessibility-friendly policies, including allow fidgeting, stimming, leaving seats, and washroom breaks. Most plot-relevant visual content is verbally described. A live service dog is present throughout the show.
Content of the show includes swearing and honest discussions of religious trauma, mental health, and human sexuality. Loose equivalence to a PG-13 rating.
Host a Performance
This show has been designed to be technically flexible and accommodating to diverse audience needs.
There are no lighting changes. Voice amplification only would be required in particularly large venues. The show does require a screen of appropriate size for the venue for a slide show.
