Fringe Review: I'm Actually Right About Everything is a bisexual love story for the modern ages
I'm Actually Right About Everything: A Bisexual Love Story 4 stars out of 5 Stage 7 Chianti Yardbird Suite This year's Fringe festival has a number of one-person shows full of heartfelt confessions and witty retorts, and this one may be the best of them all. Canadian comedy stalwart, Tracy Hamilton, bares her soul in this tender, vulnerable, and genuinely hilarious solo outing as she shares with the audience her complicated relationship with her sexual identity. Through stories about teenage crushes, toxic relationships, and representation in romantic comedy, Tracy brings along with her on this retelling of her life, captivating the audience with her smile and honest reflections. While some of us may only listen to our gut, she fully converses with hers, letting us in on her idiosyncrasies and irrational fears. This bisexual love story is about identity, attraction, personal reflection, and learning to trust your own instincts. After the show, I found myself questioning my own interpretations of my instincts and reflecting on how Tracy managed similar issues. Like so many of these kinds shows, they act as parable, reflecting their lives to give us insight into our own. Tracy weaves in plenty of laughter and wit to make the medicine go down.
