Reviews from previous audiences:
“To be brief, Tristan Miller’s stand-up show Manic Impressive was… both. An entertaining, informative, and quite a circuitous tour through a brain that can make his life challenging sometimes” – 5 stars – Matthew A. Everett
“If solo shows are a turn-off, make an exception for this one. Tristan is incredibly talented and you will love to hear about all of their problems!” – James Ehlenz
“This was an excellent solo piece. Tristan finds a perfect balance of bullet-fast one-liners and genuineness. They’re a talented and engaging performer and the subject matter is important for audiences to be hearing, and laughing about.” – Bo Kinney

Surreal, brilliant and highly relatable
Review by Maryanne Cathro 27th Feb 2023
An 8pm show on a Sunday is quite an ask for this reviewer. It’s a work night and she needs all the sleep she can get. So she is happy to report that Tristan Miller’s Manic Impressive is worth it.
Tristan is a young American from the Mid-West (the Hamilton of the US) whose show is about, well, a lot of things. A lot of things that are in his head and are really better out than in, although he’s not convinced.
This show is very fast, full of jokes so stealthy it takes a couple of beats to realise what he just said. Astute impersonations, and observations. Some fine foot-work too. As another who experiences song medley ear worms, an internal cacophony of contradictory view points and coffee dependency, I find this surreal and brilliant show highly relatable. From the amount of laughing and the big smiles of the rest of this Sunday night audience, they do too.
