Me and My Puppet Rick explores social dynamics like when it’s worth showing up authentically vs when it’s best to mask and drain your battery to be more palatable for others. Whether you’re atypical or neurotypical, if you’ve said 'just joking' as an insurance policy, felt it necessary to hide honest versions of yourself, or if you’ve ever been scared to go in for a first kiss – consider this show a TED Talk of the pros and cons of our daily social decisions.
