The plot centers on Uncle Willie, Cousin Bob, Steve’s new therapist Cousin Sal — and Sal’s parole officer — "and a myriad of astounding characters we know, love and tolerate from our own families; each one brought to life on stage by Steve Solomon using his gift for creating voices dialects and wacky sound effects that only add to the hilarity of each story," a release said. "This is truly a 'don’t miss' evening of hilarious comedy at its very best. Spend an evening with Steve in his quest to defend himself against those people whose sole purpose in life is to add chaos to his."

Over the years, the show has garnered rave reviews: "Steve Solomon is Alan King, Billy Crystal, a smidgen of Don Rickles and George Carlin all thrown in," Variety said.
