I have always had an issue with being too self-conscious(usually over my writing), so I was hoping Self-Conscious Guy would help me get over that a little bit.
It did not.
Poor Marty. Every time he does something, he feels like he has a spotlight on him. If he has to speak in front of the class, or when he wants to ask a girl out, there's the spotlight. He was fine if he was playing ping-pong though! So, at least there's that. In fact, it's ping-pong that helps him learn how to not be as self-conscious.
My biggest disappointment is that we didn't get more scenes about eating imaginary muffins.
There are a few riffs that I forgot about, like the one revolving around the aforementioned muffin eating scene. There is also a great Equus joke, and if you aren't familiar with that play, you will want to read up on it, because it makes the joke that much better/worse.
Self-Conscious Guy gets four imaginary muffins out of five.
