Little Man Highest rating! "90 minutes of nonstop hilarity . . . a tour de force of physical comedy [and] a gift to the Bay Area."
San Francisco Chronicle


In this hilarious stage memoir filled with stupendous physical feats, Pisoni takes us under the big top with the incredible true story of growing up as the youngest member of San Francisco's Pickle Family Circus. Celebrating the complicated, no-holds-barred life of a performer, Pisoni shows off the tricks of the trade he learned from his father, Pickle cofounder Larry Pisoni. A hilarious and heartfelt event that will delight audiences of all ages, Humor Abusedazzles with unforgettable stories and mesmerizing routines—all performed by the "one-man whirlwind" (WOR Radio) Lorenzo Pisoni. 


"Spellbinding and wickedly funny . . . one of the most entertaining stage shows of the year" —BeyondChron

"Thoroughly endearing . . . perfectly orchestrated [and] surprisingly tender." —San Jose Mercury News

"Hilarious . . . Pisoni is a master of comic timing." —The San Francisco Examiner

"A clowning tour de force . . . simply wonderful" —Marinscope

"A truly delightful way to spend an evening" —Chad Jones, theaterdogs

"Pisoni's performance is breathtaking." —The New York Times

"Utterly charming, absorbing, and hilarious"
TheaterMania

"A heartfelt story of a son looking for what makes his father tick" 
Associated Press

"Funny, poignant, and inspired" Bloomberg

"Great fun! Lorenzo Pisoni is a one-man whirlwind. The stunts will amaze you and the kids will enjoy it." —WOR Radio

"Surprising, funny, and entirely theatrical. Other solo performers take note: you can describe your troubled childhood, but can you do it with balloons?" Variety

"A charming and moving tribute. Lorenzo Pisoni is a performer of charisma and charm with the split-second timing and aplomb of Buster Keaton." New York Post

"Delightful slapstick routines . . . [Pisoni has] killer comic timing and acrobatic prowess." The Seattle Times

"[Pisoni is] an undeniable charmer [with] stage magic aplenty." 
Crosscut (Seattle)

"I can completely recommend running away and joining Lorenzo Pisoni's circus for an evening." Broadway World
