Poignant--but never depressing, thanks to Sweeney's sharp--and, it appears, therapeutic--wit.

Sweeny's monologue is truthful and funny in a loose conversational way that draws you in.

It is an odd mixture of the mundane, the deeply moving, the absurd and the tragic, all told with equal enthusiasm.
