You have two more chances to see George Owen. It is hard to hold an audience for an hour. It requires great writing and great performance. George delivers an hour of poignant story telling, comedy bits and vignettes. He gives 100% of himself for his story and his comedy. Take the time before dinner on Saturday or Sunday and see this show. When I leave Edinburgh next Tuesday, this show will be remembered as one of the best we seen have this season.

Fantastic show. Hilarious and random sketch type comedy, though with really raw and honest moments where the performer shares personal details too. Couldn’t take my eyes off the performer - a very high energy and engaging piece. Immaculate staging and movement - very slick and highly entertaining start to finish!

Can only give this top marks. The fun and vibrant jokes, that made me and all other people in the audience burst out into laughter, get perfectly balanced as he talks about the more traumatic parts of his life. I left the show with the biggest smile (while also wiping away a tear or two). If you can, go watch this fun energetic ball of amazingness. 10/10 stars.

An excellent mix of storytelling, comedy and improv. The storytelling is sincere and engaging, the comedy is light & energetic, and the improv assures the audience that they are safe in George's hands. The writing is sharp, managing to incorporate characters, call backs, and connections to the storytelling. It's like a solo sketch show or sitcom. As for the performance, George has an energetic, enthusiastic presence on stage, the runtime of the show flew by. I saw this show with a friend on his last day of the Fringe, and it was easily his favourite show of the festival. If you want to see what top tier writing and performance looks like, look no further, this show is easy to recommend.

Loved this show! I wasn't sure what to expect, but went along based on a recommendation. It's a series of comic vignettes, interspersed with George's personal anecdotes, which are in turn both funny and poignant. The writing was beautifully balanced, and George's timing and commitment are superb. There is audience participation, but you don't let that hold you back. You don't even have to leave your chair. I highly recommend this excellent show.

Holy Shit I loved it! George has masterfully crafted a series of absurd and hilarious sketches, audience banter, and personal revelation to explore themes of love and death.
