On a late evening at the Soho Theatre, I quite simply have no idea what to expect.
I know this show includes 2000 slideshow pages and our comedian/magician is finally ready to come out.
This simple and witty bio could not prepare me for such an incredibly moving, hilarious and slam-dunk performance that was received.
Sharp must have a brain of a genius, well he does actually in learning he has a masters in Quantum Physics, he brings us back to the beginning of his life and his dreams of becoming a magician. Moving onto his pact with God and a promise to not practice ‘confirming’ his true sexuality and a deeply moving and beautiful time shared with his late mother who gently bullied him to finally come out.
After its run on OffBroadway, London has been gifted the opportunity to venture into the world of Sharp; from seating plans on New York trains, to his Adele loving father. It’s simply an unmissable show.
The bond between creatives is evidently clear, this show was made out of love and connection. The show although simply.. a PowerPoint presentation, it is an excruciatingly precise piece relying on Sharp on stage and the creatives behind to be with him at every moment. I don’t think I’ve ever been in a room with an audience so present, in the moment and at the edge of their seats waiting to know what could possibly come next.
I guarantee this will be a sell out, so make sure you have one of those tickets!
