everyone's a aliebn when ur a aliebn too is the story of a lonely alien sent to observe Earth, only to meet all sorts of creatures with all sorts of perspectives on life, love, and happiness, all while learning to feel a little better about being an alien—based on the enormously popular Twitter account, @jonnysun.

Here is the unforgettable story of Jomny, a lonely alien who, for the first time ever, finds a home on our planet after learning that earthlings can feel lonely too. Jomny finds friendship in a bear tired of other creatures running away in fear, an egg struggling to decide what to hatch into, an owl working its way to being wise, a tree feeling stuck in one place, a tadpole coming to terms with turning into a frog, a dying ghost, a puppy unable to express itself, and many more.

Through this story of a lost, lonely and confused alien finding friendship, acceptance, and love among the creatures of Earth, we will all learn how to be a little more human. And for all of us earth-bound creatures here on this planet, we can all be reminded that sometimes, it takes an outsider to help us see ourselves for who we truly are.

      This strange, wistful, and funny title by playwright Sun is more an adaptation of its source graphic novel than a direct performance. The story follows a bewildered and lonely alien (also named "Jomny") as he learns about life on Earth by befriending what he takes to be a variety of humans--actually animals, trees, and insects--who are all just trying to figure it out for themselves. It's a book full of humor, surreal events, and kindness. The author reads his story in a quiet, calm voice, providing narration to fill in for the black-and-white illustrations of the print edition. VERDICT Fans of Sun's Twitter account will be here for this, of course; those wanting to try a creative experimental audio adaptation of a more visual work may want to try it out; and readers of Jenny Lawson's radically compassionate memoirs may enjoy its heart-on-its-sleeve humor.
