Aaron Jessup starts the show by “setting the bar low,” and indeed he did. After the first few minutes, I desperately hoped that things would pick up.

Pick up it did. Jessup has talent and each act grows progressively more difficult to accomplish. He’s entertaining enough that he leaves the hungry audience wanting more.It was a small crowd but the people who were there enthusiastically participated in the fun.

Oh yeah, and there’s a touching story to go with the action as well. My expectations were low to start but Jessup cleared the bar by a mile with his somewhat humourous, moving and acrobatic show. Running time is closer to 45 minutes, rather than the listed 60, which is too bad because I hadn’t had enough yet.
