The Honorable Herbert Peabody

So! So! Funny! This was a great night, and a perfect show for the comedy world. I was in tears for how funny it was, but also impressed by the conversation made about those in power in regards to abiding by respect and accountability. The Honorable Herbert Peabody explores deeply into what we should allow, and what shouldn't be granted. 

Watching a political comedy is always a mix of expectations as to whether the show might be funny or serious; both of which were within this performance of magnitude. The funniest comedy of the modern-day political scene is in the modern world. I couldn't stop laughing at how relatable, yet frighteningly realistic, the context was. This isn't a show for the weak, but a show for those who want more in the theatre and knowledge that isn't just educational, but a parody of what the modern political climate is in the best sense. 

I deem this show a perfect night out for those who love Saturday Night Live. Director Corey Atkins was a genius at staging this show. Every second of McGee's performance was a perfection of emotional-comedy. Aggressive humor throughout the show made the night special. Anything and everything risky was said. It was highly rewarding at the end: I was curious about how the tour went and the mentality of who is wrong and who is right.  

Herbert Peabody, a man who doesn't understand how truly funny he is, leads the story into a mad chaos inside the mind of a true figure in the political field. With no power in lawmaking, his power comes from within. McGee brings this to life and delivers a powerhouse of a performance. It follows through with the concept of emotional distress, and I found this to be for those who needed a wake-up call against the state of the past, present, and future, and need a vision for what the world should be.
