I'm posting this after the Fringe Festival closed, but in the event people refer to these reviews later...

I saw this purely by chance and out of convenience as I headed home from the Fringe Festival on Sunday. And I was so glad I decided to see it! Brandon is really a talented performer, his characters are well thought, thoroughly entertaining, and incisive, and he's hysterically funny. In his last bit, he simply sits and recounts experiences as himself, and could rivet the audience doing that for an hour easily. He's alternately intellectual, dishy, campy, and riveting, and is always right on the spot with his commitment and energy. He also manages to present his notions about where our government and the world is going without being pedantic or tiresome. Thanks for a great show.

Hard to be unbiased, because I'm so much in sync politically. But Welch illuminates several different characters, and then opens us a window into his own mind.

In his solo show, Brandon Welch presents a variety of different characters struggling with political action/inaction and the emotional experiences that go along with being/becoming politically active. Welch's own personal narrative is very touching. Funny, humane, thought-provoking, and political--what a fascination combination. Excellent acting and strong writing.

Solo show hilarious and timely ravings as the lead plays a different character in each of his monologues. Timely. Intellectual without Dennis Miller's 5 syllable words. (Even though one of the character's would probably consider moving into a trailer park 'going uptown') The humor comes from the mind, the heart, and direct experience.

This show has excellent work on lots of levels. The subject matter is strong and well developed and there is a lot of great character work, highlighted by a dead-on corporate motivational speaker, a mullett with a mission and a very uptight FBI Agent with a hilarious mission. It's a good time time to sit with these issues sans talking heads & pundits and think about what we're being told and by whom--this show is a great place to start. Entertaining and moving--I highly recommend it.
