Critic Reviews

Edward Crouse

What seems like a nut-on-a-bar-stool rant morphs into a triumphal evocation of the emotional-political bluster of that time. Read full review

Elizabeth Weitzman

Anyone familiar with Reno's politically minded monologues won't be surprised by her fury, which has sometimes been fueled by a self-righteousness that's undermined her valid observations. Read full review

Scott Tobias

For a comedian who thrives on spontaneity, the heart of Reno's act seems conspicuously canned. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

Director Nancy Savoca's no-frills record of a show forged in still-raw emotions captures the unsettled tenor of that post 9-11 period far better than a more measured or polished production ever could. Read full review

Megan Lehmann

The tiny stage can barely contain Reno's gale-force personality, as she paces and rants a stream-of-conscious monologue. Read full review

Stephen Holden

Flailing and pummeling the air, with body language that's part prizefighter, part baggy-pants clown, Reno is famous for her bluntness. Read full review

Dennis Harvey

Nancy Savoca's workmanlike record of a La Mama stage performance taped last December finds the comic spinning some not-especially-interesting anecdotes about her bewildered actions that day, before turning toward more incisive political commentary. Read full review
