"After twenty years of waiting tables, a guy's bound to have steam to blow off. That's Steve Karwoski's aim in this one-man show. His rants about being a working-class Polish/Irish America are as energetic as they are heartfelt, expertly mixing razor-sharp observational humor with an understanding of the class struggle that shaped urban America. While the play's subtitle makes it sound like a post-doctoral thesis, don't go in expecting pretension. It's about the struggle of those born to working-class families to define themselves despite the elite who ignore them and the family that misunderstand them. And Karwoski isn't shy about laying out his own foibles and failures for the sake of getting a laugh." -- Erika Thorkelson, Edmonton Fringe reviewer
