The Flail is a dark, intense, hilarious and endearing look at Arturo Grijalva's life as an imperfect being from rough beginnings who has somehow endured and found meaning in who, and what he is. Arturo introduces us to the people, places and events that shaped him during the different stages of life and addiction, and of good times and bad. It's a story of loss, it's a story of struggle and there are things the main character experiences that you wouldn't wish on a soul. But it's also a story of survival and of reinvention and ultimately, of understanding. If The Flail reinforced anything for me personally, it's that humans are incredibly resilient but showing compassion to the people around you can literally be a life-or-death moment.

AND THE BEST PART of the whole thing is that Arturo is a talented comedian and delivers this performance in a unique cadence that will have you feeling genuinely moved one moment and howling with laughter in the next. I absolutely recommend this show. You won't regret it!
