For me, there’s something about one-person shows that evokes so much in me. Especially when I’m watching something autobiographical. Some shows bring out more, and Is This Thing On? is one of those shows. Is This Thing On? is a one hour show by Adam Bradley, and one that was something completely eye opening and beautiful.
