An Intriguing One-Man Show

“Bob Karper's 'Big in Japan' is an intriguing one-man show, using visual and instrumental aids to great effect.

Recounting well-spun tales of unrequited love, the trials of being an American in Japan and the tribulations of growing up in a John Hughes-esque high school, Karper draws you in with his eccentric, humorous storytelling style.

You'll feel guilty voyeuristic pleasure as you witness his marriage breakdown - laid bare in a series of letters - and morbid fascination at the effect of 20 years of life on the 'jocks' and 'princesses' of Karper's youth. This is good stuff: well told and definitely worth a look.”
