Do You Want A Good Laugh?
If you want something like a seventy-minutes non-stop kind of good laugh, you probably would like to check this out.
Featuring Peter Grosz, credited for a number of shows including The Colbert Report, Veep, and Key & Peele, Recipe For Success With Chef Michael Denardi is a demonstration of an enthusiastic chef's imaginative recipes that you probably should avoid following and his just as suspicious life credos.
Addressing people's obsession of food and celebrity, the show mocks at the study of success and chicken soup for the soul. The object of ridicule here is surely not just the wannabe celebrity chef, who's incredibly hyper, paranoid and self-absorbed, but anyone who believes in achieving success by listening to proved methods. The usual things you hear in real life won't be mind-blowingly absurd like "Make everything personal, coz you are a person", "Hold the grudge, that way you feel alive", but most of them are just as unrealistic or cliché. Integrating all the "methods" for achieving fulfillment in the metaphor, the demonstration of the recipe of baked ziti burritos shows exactly the reasons why the dish doesn't work, as neither does the chef's career.
Peter Grosz could be a little bit more composed in the performance. Although the character is a very much hysterical figure, he probably doesn't have to show emotional unrest the whole time.
All in all, the show is a nice comedy suitable for all age. If you want to relax your mind, the last showing will be August 25.
