Fringe review: A live advice seminar, ‘What You Need To Do Is!’ helps you handle grown-folk business

posted in: News | 0

Worth considering

Considering breaking up with your significant other? Don’t know how to cover the hole in your wall? Well, “Clemons Samons,” a.k.a. “Coach,” has you covered with his life coaching seminar, “What You Need To Do Is!” Played by Eric Simons, Samons (and typically his “retired rodeo clown” partner, who missed the debut performance due to Covid) asks the audience to bring any scenario from “small quibbles” to “grown folk business” to the table, for which he — along with audience members — offers advice. No topic is off-limits in this judgment-free room full of strangers. Think improv meets group therapy.

Presented by Bugalug Ink at Phoenix Theater; 5:30 p.m. Aug. 5, 8:30 p.m. Aug. 7, 7 p.m. Aug. 8, 10 p.m. Aug. 10
