WHAT WAS THE BEST SHOW YOU'VE EVER SEEN?

  NAME THE ONE SHOW YOU DID WHERE YOU, THE CAST, AND DIRECTOR KNEW WAS A HIT, AND THE CRITICS AGREED.

Mik and Peter. both been my roommates, and  I know I've done at least 10 shows with each of them

 

  WHAT'S THE WORST REVIEW YOU EVER GOT?

well the only one I can think of is my Elephant Man Review. The guy said that I was losing in the scene I was doing. and he criticized me on things that I couldn't control like my thin-ness and my skin tone etc. he was not very good with giving critisism. It wasn't constructive, helpful, nor make sense., but you have to take that too if you're gonna take the good stuff
