“A hidden gem in the Fringe, tEMPORARY sANITY has everything from humour to heartbreak. All wrapped up by a stellar one-man performance by James Stellos. A definite must see at the Fringe this year!”

“A slice of the realities of gig work today. It’s a roller coaster, our Uber drivers help us through our hardest times - and James Stellos captures that. I’ll carry the character of Father John with me forever. It brings real depth to the Fringe. --- Benjamin Sumers – San Francisco, USA
“I highly recommend this one man show as
it’s truly an inspiring and at times an emotional experience. It pulls you into several little stories and you can’t help but feel compassion for some of them. Also, it has many moments of comedy, well-acted and written, definitely worth going to see.” ---Anthony Yule – Edinburgh, Scotland
“James Stellos's tEMPORARY sANITY is a brilliantly constructed one-man play that presents a series of fascinating vignettes of people encountered in the life of an Uber driver who is passionate about acting as a career, but uncertain about its economic viability. Each character comes to life and adds another layer of self-insight to the driver about his decision. The cumulative effect is to build a compelling case for the importance of great acting in enriching society by bringing truths to the surface. Stellos's own acting is equally compelling as he seamlessly transforms from the Uber driver to the passenger, eliciting humor, pathos, sympathy, and empathy. A truly great ride that rates 6 stars on the Uber scale!” --- Bobbi and Barry Coller – New York City, USA
