It’s Zach Galafianakis! Well, close. Al Lafrance certainly strikes a similar pose, and delivers a manic stream of consciousness ramble. Also, he’s damn funny. Funny and serious, in equal and competing amounts. With his heart on his sleeve, and unfortunate tattoos on his legs, insomnia sufferer Lafrance speaks openly about suicide, relationships, hurricane fetishes, trampoline miscues, parallel universes, death, broken hearts and broken ankles. Trust me, it all makes perfect sense. Lafrance’s monologue is a wild roller coaster ride that speeds outta control and back in control on a dime, much like his thought process I suspect. Seldom is a performer so giving, so open, so vulnerable with his audience, but Lafrance manages an all encompassing group hug of a show whilst giving out a series of unforgettable tales that are too tall not to be the absolute truth. Thanks Al.
