"Brilliantly executed physical comedy..... The packed audience, toddlers to seniors, laughed from start to finish."
Andrea Nemets, Chronicle Herald
When you studied in my school in Paris I recognized you as a great
actor. When I saw your show I recognized a great writer, poet and actor. But I knew it already.Thanks for your show. Your friend, Philippe Gaulier
"A brilliant combination of physical comedy and wit, at once intelligent and heartfelt, which takes the tradition of Commedia del'Arte and its successors -- Shakespeare and Moliere -- to new heights. I loved this show. It is a 45-minute, sidesplitting roller coast ride through the history of Peggy's Cove which ends at Gate 3 of your friendly neighbourhood tour bus line. Get your ticket before there are none left to be had."
Ed Schroeter: Artistic Director of Heritage Pavilion Stage, Peterborough, Ontario, Canada, July 28, 2006.
