"Gordon Hinchen's journey into the world of theater began during his high school years at ""The Academy for the Performing Arts"" in Chagrin Falls, Ohio, where he delved into the craft of acting and stagecraft. His pursuit of further education led him to SUNY Purchase, where he honed his skills in Playwriting/Screenwriting; however, his academic journey didn't end there. Gordon graduated from Cleveland State University (CSU) with a Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics, accompanied by a minor in Theatre Studies, showcasing his diverse interests and talents. During his time in Cleveland, Gordon made significant contributions to the local theater scene. He led the improv troupe Rare Form Improv (formerly known as Torque Improv) for five years, showcasing his improvisational skills and comedic timing. Simultaneously, he graced the stage in equity productions at Dobama Theatre in Cleveland Heights, delivering memorable performances such as the regional premiere of Annie Baker's Pulitzer Prize-winning play ""The Flick,"" where he portrayed the main character, Avery. His dedication and talent were recognized when he achieved the prestigious status of becoming a full-fledged member of the esteemed stage actor's union, AEA. In 2020, Gordon embarked on a new chapter in Atlanta, Georgia, settling in the suburb of Peachtree City to pursue a career in film. With thousands of on-set hours logged as a Production Assistant and Grip, Gordon gained invaluable experience behind the scenes. Now fully immersed in the world of theater and film, Gordon is committed to his craft as a playwright, screenwriter, and script doctor. When he's not crafting compelling stories, Gordon enjoys quality time with his beloved tri-colored corgi and his supportive wife and best friend, Kelsey. Together, they share a love for classic cinema, culinary adventures, and leisurely strolls around the picturesque lake near their home."
"Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn on New Play Exchange: ""This play comes out swinging and doesn't let up. Don't let the title fool you, Robin is definitely a comedian, but as it is with most comedians, his jokes cover a much deeper pain. And that pain resonates out to those around him. This is not so much a story of ""nature vs nurture"" as the characters seem to believe, but rising like a phoenix from the ashes despite the tragedies that befall you. Alice will set a great example to her uncle by doing just that."" Link: https: //newplayexchange.org/plays/3237426/comedian Christopher on Amazon (verified review): ""This was one heck of a ride. It's like diving headfirst into a whirlpool of emotions, where tragedy and comedy collide in the most unexpected ways. You'll find yourself laughing one moment and holding back tears the next. It's intense, it's raw, and it's utterly gripping.""

This play captures Alice's turbulent journey through grief and adversity, expertly juxtaposing moments of intense despair with sharp wit. Its innovative use of a single set to represent shifting realities is commendable. Strong themes of alcoholism and mental health are handled with sensitivity, making this a compelling piece for mature audiences. Highly recommended for its depth and dynamic storytelling.""
