★ ★ ★ ★ ★ “Little short of a revelation” (Adelaide Advertiser)
Faingersh’s show is a delight from opening to finale. Combining upper-echelon musicianship with fantastic comedic timing, and you have the ingredients for a unique piece of theatre. Faingersh’s storytelling is hilarious and heartwarming in equal beats as he trades exploring the birth and raising of his children. It’s astounding to watch Faingersh create fantastic little soundscapes with his trombone and his voice. It’s compelling, it’s unique and it’s everything you want in a Fringe show.”
