“Jon Bennett: American’t is a brilliantly crafted and expertly delivered masterpiece of comedic storytelling. With an electrifying mix of raw storytelling, razor-sharp wit, and one of the most entertaining PowerPoint slide decks I’ve seen, Bennett delivers a show that is wildly unpredictable, deeply personal, and exceptionally entertaining. ★★★★★” – Fringe Feed
