I really enjoyed your show here at SCSU. You were hilarious and you managed to get the message across without boring the students or losing their attention. I was an orientation leader and my group was raving about your show and how great it was. They really liked it. I still hear people talking about you on campus and there are a lot of people here who are now really disappointed that they missed it.

Again, as I told you at the Ice Cream Social, speaking as someone who works with people who have disabilities, thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to spend with your brother. That really struck me and I always want to recognize those who do it, since there are a great many who can’t handle the situations. What you’re doing for your brother is amazing, and I am willing to bet that every time you show to pick him up, you make him happier than he usually is. He sounds like a great person and a lot of fun to be around. I’m glad you realized that and take the time to spend with him.

I am sorry to hear about your brother. I’ve lost several friends to suicide, and one of my best friends, the guy who was like a big brother for me and who meant everything to me, killed himself a little over a year ago. I know it’s not exactly the same, but over the years I’ve learned the pain of suicide never really leaves the people left behind. It must have taken a lot of courage to tell that story when you began doing this, but I’m glad that you managed it because I think it made a great impact on us all in the audience.

Your show is such an inspiration. I think it’s amazing that you’re out there doing this and helping people so much. The night after your show was the quietest I’ve seen in the time that I’ve spent at SCSU, and I’m betting that you had something to do with that. Thank you for telling your story and in such a great way.

So, now that I’ve written such a long reply (can you tell I’m a writer?), I will cease my babbling. Keep up the awesome performances, you are touching and often even changing the lives of those you tell your story to. Thank you for that.

I just want to say that your show really touched my heart. The way you were able to be funny but serious at the same time, I feel really made an impact. People now days don’t understand what its like to lose a person that they love and how hard it is, but for you to be able to stand up there and tell your story without shedding a tear…. that was amazing! That is definantly a hero in my eyes. Thank you!

Brittany!

ps. your funny as hell man.

I was an Orientation Leader for the kick off week. It was my job to encourage students to attend your show. Some students thought it would be “stupid” and “boring” but I brought them along anyway. I was so happy it was actually good, and inspiring.

It is hard to help some students that just don’t seem to get it, and behave in a destructive mannor. Your message was from the heart and I hope we all learned something, even if it is what NOT to do.

It sucks about your brother. But keep doing what you are doing. Telling your story means something: It means your brother didn’t die in vain.

That was another amazing show. I was able to watch you last year when you came and again this year. I really like how you add your own personal experience into the whole show.
