Award-winning comedian and playwright Leif Oleson-Cormack pushes confessional storytelling to its limits in this show about a methodically moronic plan to double-down on unrequited love through a disastrous trip to Disneyland. Featuring criminal acts, surgically-altered sugar daddies, Sinatra impersonators, and a cynically-charged "coming out", this (unfortunately) true story is not to be missed.“Leif Oleson-Cormack shows how two things — storytelling skill and pure fearlessness — can make for truly captivating theatre.”
- The Edmonton Journal ★★★★½
"He's scrupulously fair and his account is suffused with compassion and understanding, even for the most predatory characters featured. Wryly amusing from the get-go, he keeps you hooked with the rich, morally shady detail of his story."
- The Scotsman ★★★★
“Oleson-Cormack wore his heart on his sleeve throughout his intimate monologue...well-structured and well-written.”
- North West End UK ★★★★
“Exquisitely well written stand-up comedy...Leif Oleson-Cormack really knows what he’s doing.”
- Butterwort ★★★★
“[T]he show is an unusual fusion of stand-up comedy and theatre. And it capitalizes on the particular appeals of both — the bright forward energy (and sharp-eyed comic observations) of the former, the narrative structure and momentum of the latter. Both the current and the younger Leif’s occupy the stage, in a vivid way. And they make great company for a Fringe hour.”

“This is a great one-person autobiographical Fringe show — it’s a honest story above love that manages to be very funny, even though there are some darker moments in this tale. Oleson-Cormack is very likeable and combined with a story full of twists, he keeps the audience engaged in his adventure.”
-UMFM Theatre Reviews
“Feverish, funny and fantastical, this adventure delivers entertainment on all fronts. Love it.”
-JennyRevue.com
“Leif Oleson-Cormack shows us where the future of stand-up comedy should lie.”
