Dr. Harlon's Keys To Better Living

Royal George Theatre
1641 N. Halsted Chicago

In a series of monologues, interspersed with video segments that illuminate those “Keys to Better Living,” the audience is introduced first to Dr. Harlon Stewart, and then to ten people who subscribe to the image-conscious behavior that he's espousing - people like Greg Woodside, a father determined to get the perfect Christmas card picture of his infant son; Irving Cloyd, an elderly booking agent fighting obsolescence; Trey Oliver, a socialite and international traveler; Bobby Velour, a take-no-prisoners nightclub entertainer; and Ken Liederman, a down-on-his-luck mattress salesman.

  Review Round-Up

Chicago Reader - Somewhat Recommended

"...Clinger has a nice wit that leans gently to the cornball; quiet little twists are a specialty. But his conceits--a lounge entertainer with anger issues, a guy using tone-deaf pickup lines at a bar--are too familiar to generate more than mild interest."

Chicago Theater Blog - Recommended

"...Director Kevin Theis should be commended for setting vivid scenes when the only props available are a chair, a screen and Clinger. Still images of a landscape with subtle sounds of birds chirping and a frame of a cocktail party accompanied by murmurs and glass clinks help provide vivid, yet minimalist, environments for Clinger’s characters to live in."

ChicagoCritic - Recommended

"...Clinger is a master performer and instinctive actor who sure knows how to set up and land a comedy bit and character sketch. He moves from an old man to a singer to a neurotic with stealth skill. Clinger is a throw-back comedian who writes his own material. He has terrific sense of satire as he depicts flawed characters with a strong sense of truth therefore emitting both empathy and lots of humor. Clinger’s show is funny and well performed. I’d only wish the clinger put more of an edge on some of the characters. This show is slickly produced an quite funny as Will Clinger’s talent wins us. This is a fine date show."
