Senescence, Or Ageing Gracelessly

Artist is great at telling stories.

An enjoyable hour. Honest and endearing.

For a newbie Fringe artist, Don has a charisma and charm that I want to see more of! I laughed lots and I wanted to hear even more about his experience with aging.

Congrats Don and Happy Birthday!

I had a great time at Senescence. Don is a newer Fringe artist, and you could still see him getting his sea legs, but it just added to the charm for me. Don can tell a great joke, and his perspectives on aging are insightful too: I particularly liked the bit about the 'Insurrection of the Inanimate." But my favourite parts were when he explored his own feelings about his "graceless aging" - there were several brave, vulnerable moments that I found unexpectedly touching, from his feelings about his "weak hams" and his dewlap to his deepened relationship with women and femininity. I hope this show keeps developing and growing, because I think there's something really special here. If you can look past some occasionally shaky delivery, I'd absolutely recommend it: maybe you'll be moved too!

Happy birthday, Don! Welcome to Fringeing!
