Press & Reviews
“For me, there’s something about one-person shows that evokes so much in me. Especially when I’m watching something autobiographical. Some shows bring out more, and Is This Thing On? is one of those shows.”
“And watching Adam was definitely special. From a non-linear start, to very raw storytelling, we got a lot of laughs, and a lot of deep hurt. I loved getting to look through a window into Adam’s life.”
“Something I absolutely loved was Adam’s talent at making things humorous. I’ve been in theatre for a long time, and I know that’s a rare gift.”
“Adam’s use of music to move the story along was really beautiful.”
“This is an amazing show…and truly, Adam has found his place.”
-Zoe Writes Theatre
