Thief of Joy blends Soresi’s signature theatrical flair with deeply personal storytelling. Drawing from his life as a theatre kid turned theatre major, he weaves together intimate anecdotes about his relationship, career, and his parents’ divorce, all delivered in the animated style The New York Times calls “silkily feline physicality and frenetic gesticulation.”

This was very very funny and I like how aware this guy is of his flaws but does lowkey feel like it goes to quickly and could let some stuff linger for a bit
