PF Nunn works both onstage and in the mind of the audience, his performance is marked by traits common to most great cultural criticism-- an unflinching honesty and an unwillingness to accept society's conventions at face value. On "Are the Kids Sleep Yet?" PF shows that fearless deconstructive spirit manifests itself both in the topics of children-- homophobia, religious indoctrination, and aliens were just a few issues broached in this performance-- and the structure of the show itself, which eschews traditional stand-up tropes in favor of frequent detours, ruminations, and extended passages that don't even aim for laughs but PF nails the humor with finesse. SIMPLY FUNNY, by contrast, may simply capture PF and his microphone, but that doesn't mean his love of needling the status quo has been squelched. Great Performance!
