I find with shows whose gimmick is audience secrets, often I’m left disappointed because the secrets are boring, the artist doesn’t do anything significant with them, or both. However, I saw that a trauma clown was involved and tend to relly enjoy trauma clown shows so I had to go.

I thought the storytelling was great, at least for the show that I attended (they have different storytellers for different days). I think the weaknesses of the show fell on the audience for submitting secrets that were largely jokey or mundane, rather than buying into the premise and being actually vulnerable. It is a hard thing to push people to do before they even see your show, though. I appreciated the hand in unloveable hand thesis of this show and I would definitely see another show from juice the trauma clown in the future.
