1-MAN NO-SHOW
Isaac Kessler is mad.
I first got to see this show back in Cincy Fringe in 2024 and at the time I had no idea what to expect. Two years later I walked in to the show again, and still had no idea what to expect.
Isaac presents the idea of art: What is it? What does it mean? What makes something profound or funny or interesting? Loosely. This show adheres to it's theme in it's own weird, wacky way- but it never loses sight of it's own very sexy shadow.
To explain this show is to ruin it. The fewer expectations you have walking into it- the better. I myself accidentally spoiled a punchline when the remembrance of the moment unfolding in front of me left me cackling so much I blurted it out before he got there.
The show is madcap fun. Kessler easily straddles a line between standoffish and welcoming that is a rare balance to hold while still being endearing and enthusiastic. He has been doing this show for a while, and his skill with the audience is so blatantly on display that it can be a delight to watch him work.
A mad work of creative genius that is equally stupid, savage and silly. If you've never seen it, it's high time you did.
