Cameryn Moore—Red River College
The formula to a successful show is simple: great storyteller + great storyline = great show. Cameryn Moore is a great storyteller. Unfortunately, Nerd F*cker is only a so-so story. The strong start
leads the audience to have great expectations. The intro describes the premise well and tells us that geeks are great; geeks are smart; geeks are beautiful; geeks want sex. I get it. Now it’s time to move onto some development or some background. There isn’t nearly enough plot or evolution.
Unfortunately, the descriptive narrative continues and the plot comes to a squealing stop. The dénouement revives the story, leading to the introspective conclusion but long moments in the middle drag way too long.
