Good effort by the actor/writer. Some vignettes work better than the others. Venue was fine

Description

Now making its west coast premiere, Normal Confusion stars Rhodes Short as a Detroit bartender who ponders the question: What is normal? He finds the answers through all the characters he meets while working at the Motown Bar and Grill. This one-man show will make audiences laugh as well as think.

Director Doug McKeon guides Short through this one-man experience using video, stand-up, poetry and more, with characters like a homeless man, a male stripper, the Pillsbury Doughboy and a talking bottle of beer—just to name a few.

While bartending and waiting tables for 20 years, Rhodes Short heard a common complaint: “Why can’t I be normal? Why can't I have a normal job/car/family/husband/wife/life/etc.?” Out of these experiences came his one-man show, Normal Confusion, which has played in Philadelphia and now Los Angeles.
