Review: NIMROD at Theatre Of NOTE
by Andrew Child
- Mar 4, 2023
Director Alina Phelan is a master of visual comedy and everything you see has a punchline if you are willing to look for it. Vangsness’ impersonation is a biting satire that far supersedes anything Lorne Michaels’ could get away with putting on TV.

Review: BOORISH TRUMPSON, VAULT Festival
by Kat Mokrynski
- Feb 13, 2023
Boorish Trumpson is fun for the clowning aspects but fails to deliver on the political side. If this show was meant to give me the sense of frustration and confusion of the Boris and Trump era, it met its goal. I left Boorish Trumpson just as confused as I was by the time Trump and Boris themselves left office.
