About the Show

In his provocative new show, celebrated solo artist Mike Daisey sinks his teeth into a harsh reality: bad faith is becoming more rampant in today’s culture.

From the show:

From the President and our politics to climate and corporate rule, Daisey unpacks how bad faith — a twisted kind of deception — spreads, why people choose bad faith over goodwill, and how this growing epidemic impacts our lives. Using heartbreaking and darkly hilarious stories from his own life, Daisey wrestles with the big questions: how do we know we're not part of the problem and how do we make sure the worst people don't come out on top?

Bad Faith will be produced by Audible Theater and recorded live at the Minetta Lane Theatre for Audible listeners globally.

Relevant, Muddled/meandering, Thought-provoking, Looong, Absorbing

See it if you're ok w/2 hrs of rambling. MD is intellig/engaging, but he's defensive abt his "scandal." He lacked integrity, so it's hard to trust him

Don't see it if you want coherence. His points abt bad faith get muddied. But he is funny/ clever. Needs serious editing, shaping. Disappointing.

Funny, Indulgent, Thought-provoking, Rambling, Disappointing

See it if You want to see Mike Daisey sit at a desk and do his podcast. Some interesting bits lost in a rambling stream of consciousness.

Don't see it if You desire any action AT ALL or even a coherent plot. He doesn’t really even tie it all together with the loose thread the title suggests.

Funny, Relevant, Profound, Intelligent

See it if If you like long monologues about where we are now in life. The star is articulate and intelligent.

Don't see it if No intermission kinda long and drawn out at times. If you prefer a more traditional play.

Scattered, Long, Absorbing

See it if Engaging storytelling but also a bit scattered. At 2 hours, was 30-40 min. too long covering too much. Also... polyamory never works out.

Don't see it if You don’t like monologues performances.

Indulgent, Slow, Thought-provoking, Disappointing, Confusing

See it if you enjoy extended monologs pushing personal experiences into generalities. Mike Daisey is a good speaker who clearly enjoys telling stories

Don't see it if You are expecting historic or economic revelations. This time he stays with his personal experiences stemming from a recent divorce.

Amusing, Disappointing, Drawn-out, Indulgent, Rambling

See it if you want to be a part of Daisey's therapy session, wherein he rambles & meanders thru personal stories as he tries to rehab his reputation.

Don't see it if u expect something coherent, cogent & original from a generally insightful & articulate monologist; ur a Trumpist (or u have Trump fatigue). Read more

Thought-provoking, Indulgent, Slow, Edgy, Ambitious

See it if Daisey's most personally honest; thus powerful show to date Finally located the nexus of political & personal via the realm of bad faith

Don't see it if Monologue is dense, lengthy & overwrought (Daisey trademarks) requiring rigorous attention for payoff A meditation on our irreligious time

Raw and confessional, Relevant, Great writing, Intense, Absorbing

See it if Monologuist spills tea on Self:Esophageal,polyamoury,divorce,insulin,gaslite & psyche ward stint."It's always midnite in the middle of day."

Don't see it if Confessional 2 hrs."(Bad faith) allowed the problems of the past to enable the problems of today to come to pass/I am the most famous liar" Read more
