Storyteller David Reiley takes you on a rollercoaster of intimate tales in this revealing look at how every choice in life is an experiment
In this evening-length storytelling show scientist David Reiley shares his experimental approach to everything from sports to romance. From his theory that he's the Pittsburgh Pirates' good luck charm to his choice to fall in love with a phone-sex operator David demonstrates the value of experimentation to help him solve problems in all areas of life. To improve his understanding of the world David engages in radical self-examination and tells the truth even if it risks social discomfort and disapproval. His observations about the connections between sex and skiing will change how you think when you head down a slope. And just wait until you find out what he did with his old Magic: The Gathering cards!
