Sack of Nerves

“blisteringly funny all while maintaining a steady hum of emotional heft”

“A well written and confidently performed monologue about childhood trauma and sizzling street meats.”

“You’re more insightful than a lot of my clients” -my therapist. Not really about the show but certainly applicable.

So many solo performance pieces can become self-indulgent navel-gazing, something Andrew has always had the hubris to believe he’d be very good at.

Sack of Nerves is an interrogation into why he is like this. Self-reflective and self-deprecating without slipping into self-pity, the show explores the experiences that shaped him most: growing up in Pittsburgh, losing both of his parents, and spending years behind the bar trying to decode strangers while struggling to understand himself.
What begins as a story about relationships spirals into a broader question about personality, patterns, and whether people are actually capable of change.
