LA Weekly called it "riotously funny." The Los Angeles Times called it "an uproarious romp." Backstage said, "How rare the kept promise in this city of shattered hopes, but when the program to this little gem promises 'delusion, heartbreak, necrophilia, drunkenness, cirrhosis of the liver, and some catchy tunes,' it is as good as its word and then some. . . The production skims along, each number wrapping appalling bad taste in a perky, upbeat melody that makes dipsomania a lighthearted romp. . . It's terrific fun and so wrong in all the right ways."

This is not a show for the easily offended and it contains adult language and adult content. Please leave the kids at home.

You'll just get embarrassed.

Charles Bukowski (1920-1994) was an American poet, novelist and short story writer. His work focused on the ordinary lives of poor Americans, on the act of writing, on work, on alcohol, and on his terrible relationships with women. He wrote thousands of poems, hundreds of short stories, and six novels, eventually publishing over sixty books. In 1986 Time called Bukowski a "laureate of American lowlife." Adam Kirsch of The New Yorker wrote, "the secret of Bukowski’s appeal is that he combines the confessional poet’s promise of intimacy with the larger-than-life aplomb of a pulp-fiction hero." The Los Angeles Times Book Review once said, "Wordsworth, Whitman, William Carlos Williams, and the Beats in their respective generations moved poetry toward a more natural language. Bukowski moved it a little further."
