KORNBLUTH’S SWEET 16

Jan Breslauer refers to Josh Kornbluth’s “one previous performance in Los Angeles, in 1991” (“It All Adds Up Now,” Aug. 17). In fact, there were 16 performances, which I produced, and they were critically very successful.

Over the years I’ve attended dozens of solo shows, and Kornbluth’s monologues are exceptional. There are a handful of solo artists, including Los Angeles-based monologuists Vicki Juditz, Barry Neikrug and Sandra Tsing Loh who, like Kornbluth, are able to mold their idiosyncratic and often quite shattering experiences into life lessons--where the audience walks away transformed and having been thoroughly entertained in the process.
