"If a John Waters movie and Ex Machina had a baby, it might look like WOWEE!.. This reviewer snorted with laughter." First Looks - PortFringe 2018!

"Wow Wee! ...is exactly what it sounds like, but (somehow) it's even more than that. Yes, it's a silly parody of 80's sitcoms, yes it's improv, yes it's Christmas. But the sinister undercurrent of the show, of having a character on stage that can murder everyone at any moment, gives the comedy of the show an urgency and draws you in even further and, ugh, it's also so much fun. " Atlanta Fringe Festival 2023

"one of the most interesting improvisational troupes in the City. As always, IRTE gives us an off-the-wall experience. ...the cast works well together, all-in-all an excellent comic ensemble with a well-honed sense of communal timing..." Ewing Reviewing
