In the increasingly popular ‘stand-up meets one-woman show’ X and Y graph, where one axis measures funniness and the other good writing, you can just about get away with landing in three of the four quadrants (not funny and not good writing is of course a bust). In the case of Olivia Levine’s Unstuck, a confessional hour about her experience with OCD, shocking anecdotes and a handful of good jokes keep her in the clear, even if her script is lacking sophistication and drive.

A few whimsical set pieces at the top (one of which nicely bookends the hour) inject some much-needed creativity into what otherwise would be an uninterrupted monologue, while a few others, including a voice-over serving as Levine’s critical inner voice, are less original. What saves Unstuck is Levine’s expertise on her condition and ability to bring us into her perceived reality during poor mental-health patches. Nods of affirmation in the audience as Levine describes varying OCD symptoms and her hyper specific compulsions prove her story is making others feel seen. That is surely more important than a few extra giggles.
