The Reviews Are In

I’ve learned that the most damning reviews are silence.
Fortunately, these people had something to say.

NYC STAGE REVIEWS

Review for Jerby: Fully Loaded
"an iconoclastic wild man...a fearless performer who takes chances and sends out zingers, but aims even more arrows at himself...a force to be reckoned with ..."

Rob Lester

Talkin' Broadway

Review for Jerby: Fully Loaded
"Foul-mouthed, indecent, immoral and ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!"

Cherry Jones

Review for Jerby: Fully Loaded

Review for Jerby: Fully Loaded

Review for Jerby With a "Y"
"With impeccable comic timing, he'll wrap up Broadway, rock and rap into a ball of bawdiness and then whack you with a left hook of pathos and relevance while you're distracted.

Fort Worth star telegram

Review for Grand Hotel at The 5th Avenue Theatre
“As with any great cast there are several players who work the hardest and get the least attention. But without them the show wouldn’t have the impact it does. So my hat is off, with many kudos to these first-rate cast members: John Raymond Barker…”
