As a resipient of a kidney transplant this show was an amazing support to me. The show is not for the squemish and includes details or operations and medical treatment.It is a stunning representation of the multlme millions people world wide that experience dialysis and are waiting for a organ transplant world wide. The show helped me so much mentally with coping with what I have been through over the last few years. Without a doubt will keep an eye out for one of Dave's shows again next year and beyond. Keep up the amazing work promoting organ donation world wide Dave.

I felt that the show, while having its moments of being very descriptive and a bit gross —was refreshing and something totally new. It was brutally honest and filled with layers, deep, brutal pain, and an overwhelming sense of not only empathy, but affirmation In the fact that things could always be worse. The show gave me powerful moments of self reflection with sprinkles of crude, but Hilarious humor. The show is bold and it’s tapping into a territory that people wouldn’t even think about touching. It’s the only tone that makes sense while holding itself to the highest standards of honesty and integrity. It’s not for the faint of heart, But I would say this show should be watched by those people because this is what real life is like and people are too afraid to peel back the curtain to see it and face that reality. Bravo to Dave.

An open, authentic account of bodily dysfunction, in all of its grossness and discomfort. Dave doesn't shy away from any part of his story, yet injects his goofy, light hearted personality into moments most of us haven't had to be brave enough to live through. A show about luck, and gratitude, and a whole lot of Craps.

Offensive and unpleasant. I left halfway through.
