A man gives a TED Talk … sorry, this is not a TED Talk, though it could be given by someone named Ted, in which case it would be Ted’s talk, but that’s not the man’s name. He talks about marketing … or something like that, he’ll work out the details and acronyms later. Will there be a later? But let’s move on to our next bullet … point, bullet point. Have we talked about cars, how they’re the best way to die? We don’t have to talk about that. Let’s talk about that.

    I got to see this piece at the 2026 Valdez Theater Conference, and it was a hell of a ride. The slippy surrealism of the play's language is delightfully disorienting, and leads you to unexpected moments of depth as the piece unfolds. Absolutely worth checking out, especially if you're looking for a one-person show that swims in the surrealist end of the pool.

    Darkly funny, inventive, and uncomfortably relatable, "Bullet" captures the spiraling logic of anxiety and existential dread with remarkable precision. McNeill transforms a familiar presentation format into a fascinating theatrical journey, balancing humor, vulnerability, and disorientation in a way that keeps the audience engaged from beginning to end.

    McNeill has struck just the right balance between dark and humorous, real yet disorienting, managing to capture the indescribable feeling that comes with a thought spiral, where every attempt to claw yourself out becomes one more way you get dragged in. Perfectly frantic, uncertain, engaging, and unnerving, "Bullet" keeps the audience hungry for more.
