It picked up a stack of awards, including Producer of the Year, Best Musician, Best in Venue, Best Solo Show, Best Original Play and Best Male Performer. For anyone who loves music, this is the show to see. The Orlando Sentinel wrote, \u201cIt&#8217;s just one guy \u2013 and one guitar \u2013 but it&#8217;s amazing!\u201d The Edmonton Sun was also impressed by his performance at the Edmonton Fringe Festival (North America&#8217;s largest) and wrote, \u201c5 Stars. The hour-long play will leave you doing two things:\u00a0 laughing until you cry, and lifting your jaw to its proper position.\u201d During the performance, Padgett becomes 6 different guitar players, each with a unique sound (he offers up a little bit of country, jazz, folk, rock, classical, and the blues), personality, and back story.<\/p>\n<p><em> <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Over the course of the event, there will be performances by many solo acts and improv groups, as well as a series of classes by improv instructors, so there will be a little bit of something for everyone.
