Thank you very much for sending a reviewer to my show, “Local Comedian: A Show About a Comedian Doing a Show About a Comedian Doing a Show.” I understand it was a quick turnaround for you to get it into the paper [August 9], and I appreciate the effort. Unfortunately, Ms. [Kim] Wilson seems to have had trouble understanding my show. Let me illustrate my points using her review. “Brad Steuernagel’s solo effort is yet another example of a grossly underprepared improv-school graduate renting a space and stringing together an hour’s worth of lame, disconnected gags with a smidgen of material that has actual comic potential.”

“He launches many bits with a rambling introduction explaining why his shtick should work, according to the textbook, then stops most of them short, mumbling apologies for their stupidity.”
Again, is she talking about me or the character?
Brad Steuernagel
