This refreshingly human comedy engages existential themes in a family-friendly manner without pulling punches. MB's delivery is sensitive and human, and his timing is deadly precise. Death, love, family, religion, health, and community are main themes. "Locker Room" embarrassment is described without a single curse word.

While not quite the masterpiece that was "My Girlfiend's Boyfried", Mike's tales of his life land wonderfully in this performance. His choice to leave some of his harsher bits on religion out of this particular set was also a nice surprise.
