See it if you'd like to witness an awesomely "in progress" host interact with audience members as seriously as he does ridiculously. It's about us.

Don't see it if you want a narrative or very structured experience. You're going for the sake of seeing design or production values. You're easily offended. Read more

Clever, Entertaining, Funny

See it if Paul Mercurio knows how to entertain and his stand up routine is great. He takes people from the audience and uses them for improv.

Don't see it if you want a big, splashy musical. This is stand up comedy and he does it very well.
