The Birdmann: Our Reviewer Uses the word FANTASTIC several times

The Birdmann is fantastic.

I must admit, at the beginning, I was not blow away by the Birdmann's stage presence. He walked on and just stood there for a bit and I felt rather uncomfortable. I was thinking: “This isn't ridiculous enough to be endearing and it's not cheesy enough to be slick. It's  just... awkward.” His jokes were funny, but the music cut in too soon after the punchlines, leaving me hanging with a half-completed thought. But as it went on, I got more and more drawn in. This man on stage was charming after all. And quietly, clumsily, I found myself really relating to his story. He reached in to my slightly lonely, note very exceptional, rather shy, but hopeful heart and took a piece of it up on stage with him. And he took it dancing. Like a rockstar! And by the end, I felt so joyous and liberated and in love with my life. Like I could be fantastic too.

The Birdmann was inspiring in a way I didn't think stand up comedy could be. It was heartwarming, occasionally disgusting, witty, and a little sad. He took pointlessness to a whole new level. In a rather beautiful way. I can guarantee you won't get what you're expecting, but I loved the Birdmann. He is fantastic.
