Damn Your Eyes
The Placeholder Show—Playhouse Studio

J.D. Renaud is back with another great one-man show that combines his brilliant combination of video, cartoons and story telling to draw the audience into his world. The focus of this year’s show is the things he hates the most about himself, that are also a large part of his character, and how he used them as stepping stones to try to grow as a person and become who he wants to be.

I was blown away by his show Self-Destructivism last year, and this year’s show is just as strong, and if you didn’t see him last year, it stands on its own. His stories about his life experiences, which are complimented by his animations, are very well crafted and told with great passion. The humour throughout keeps it fun, as he does delve into some dark times in his life.
