Growing Up and Moving On

Shelby Bond is going through some changes.
This seems to be something of a transition show for Bond, with a structure in which he adopts three different personae that give some hints as to where he might be heading as a performer. The first is still the affable Bond of his more recent stand-up material, as seen in last year's The Poor Man's Guide to Being Rich (which I also reviewed on this site), offering some familiarity for longtime Fringe attendees. The second is a semi-comic professorial character who presents a slide show on the nature of obsequious co-dependency, while the third is a much more earnest inner-monologue version of himself who tells the story of his own such relationship with a past girlfriend.
