Review of "My Daughter Knocked Out The Power On The Whole East Coast"

The first thing that will grab you is the East Coast accent of the story tella - fuhgetaboudit.
There's a great extemporaneous feel to the piece - like hearing a funny story from one of your friends at a house party. Great delivery. Great use of some simply, offbeat music.
The whole thing, essentially, amounts to a well produced and well told joke - in the sense of the set up and delivery - not in some negative sense. I'm talking structure here.
As the party season kicks into high gear and the family stories start to roll off the tongue after a few cocktails, this one should fit right in.
