About this listen
In these seven monologues, recorded before live audiences at New York's Performance Space 122, Daisey tells true stories from his life that range from the terrible beauty of his rural Maine hometown, to shipping weapons to the Middle East, to the unintentionally hilarious dangers of defending free speech.
Family is at the forefront in this monologue: aunts, uncles, grandparents, and drawing boundaries on what you can take from your family and what, ultimately, has to be given away. Aunt Linda has taste, but that doesn't mean it's good; the game of Furry Cockroach and its capricious rules are revealed; and we learn the terrible truth of Lucinda Moore and what happened at the 8th grade dance.

"Comic delivery so sharp it draws blood." (San Jose Mercury News)
"Irresistible storytelling...elevating and hilarious." (San Francisco Weekly)
"Daisey is a brainy, manic hoot, a blond, owl-shaped cross between cultural critic Noam Chomsky and rambunctious actor-rocker Jack Black." (The Seattle Times)
"Relentlessly interesting...brilliantly spun narrative...Daisey has the kind of timing and dramatic instinct that would make the most mundane story interesting." (The New York Times)
