"Inventive, brilliant wit! Hits you like a precision blast of seltzer down your pants!"
- Show Business Weekly

"The Six Characters performed their hilarious vignettes with split-second timing, joyful abandon, and abundant skill, taking on such topics as life, love, and God, and using a mixture of live action and video. They deconstructed everything with a fiendish but logical glee that left one gasping for breath from both laughter and shock — the shock of recognition, the shock of their audacity, the shock of sheer theatrical bliss."
- Off Off Broadway Review

"This cutting-edge troupe keeps getting better and better; their current show suggests that they’re just about ready to take their place alongside The Kids in the Hall and Monty Python in the pantheon of anarchic sketch comedy."
- NYTheatre.com
