See it if you like physical theatre, experimental explorations of masculinity, short vignettes, don't mind theme taking a backseat to form

Don't see it if you prefer a show with a single plot, traditional plays, shows where the message itself is key rather than the format

See it if you like stand-up comedy, lightning-fast wit, British humor, audience interaction (not that much of it), one-person shows.

Don't see it if you prefer a play, performances with no crowd work, greater focus on plot/story rather than in-the-moment banter

Don't see it if you are easily offended, don't enjoy fast-paced dialogue, prefer naturalistic staging.

See it if you like stand-up comedy that tells a story and shares vulnerability rather than just a collection of jokes.

Don't see it if you are not a fan of stand-up comedy. Although this show tackles an important theme, it is not an in-depth exploration of it.

Don't see it if you prefer light-hearted fare and prefer theater to be a form of escapism from the problems of the world.

See it if you enjoy honest, vulnerable looks at the darkest points of human experience: depression, addiction, suicide. Funny and moving.

Don't see it if you prefer traditional stand-up comedy or plays. Steer clear if you want an evening of escapism rather than hard-to-hear truths.
