As dramatic as this all sounds, The Chair Company is very much a comedy, and by far the funniest show of the year. Read full review

Once more, Robinson shows how good he is at taking common social situations and launching them to absurd heights, leaving us to look up at the sky in a combination of awe and terror as all the pieces come falling around us. Read full review

Every time I began to worry that Robinson and Kanin should have stuck with the idea of getting in and out quickly with a joke, some jaw-droppingly bizarre thing would happen, and The Chair Company had my attention all over again. Read full review

Like most of their work, it sometimes stretches believability to try and get a laugh, but it’s a captivatingly strange piece of work, a show that feels like it reaches for commentary in a way that these guys haven’t really done before. Read full review

All comedy is essentially about surprises and in The Chair Company, you can’t tell exactly when the next massive, stupid laugh is coming. Ron’s colleagues are just the right amount of wacky, too. Read full review

The Chair Company is a funny parody of conspiracy thrillers that works on a number of levels, thanks to the clever writing of Tim Robinson, Zach Kanin, and their writing team. Read full review

It’s all just entertaining enough to make up for the show’s scattershot storytelling. Read full review
