"(Dick) and his lovable sidekick Amos Glick (Dubya) reprise their
penetrating caricatures from past San Francisco Mime Troupe shows in a new
satire... Glick's comically out-of-his-depth, take-charge
Dubya... offer[s] some much-needed laughs in
dark times."
"it's an asinine idea that makes for an admirably funny show; but then that's hardly a surprise given the agitprop and
improv chops of these Mime Troupe veterans...Glick's simpleton-in-chief [is] masterfully reproduce[d] in
every gesture and inflection. Cleverly crafted...only political satire this good could get us to laugh at the seriously unfunny catastrophes
trailing behind (and ahead) of these donkeys. Or rather elephants."
The San Francisco Bay Guardian
"It's hoppin'...Amos Glick is terrific as the malaprop-popping,
sentence-mutilating Dubya...Whether painful direct quotes, or improvised bits of comedy, they hit
today's hot political topic with belly-aching acumen...when the preaching is this
much fun, then bring it on! Check out The Dick 'n Dubya Show: A Republican Cabaret for a very
good time."
The Bay Times
"Ed Holmes and Amos Glick, from The San Francisco Mime Troupe, play the role of Dick Cheney and George W. Bush with
astonishing resemblance...a highly entertaining showcase...A well-executed bit of comedy reminiscent of 'Saturday Night Live' back when Chevy Chase did Gerald
Ford."
The Daily Californian
"...the best stuff comes out in the relatively unscripted Q&A portion...Amos Glick makes an amusingly smug and childlike chief executive."
The East Bay Express
"It's an SNL-like exercise, with Amos Glick playing George close to the vest, mimicking our leader's quirks with a minimum of
fuss...[they] engage the crowd in a town hall-type revival - Bush innocent and frustrated,
Cheney spiteful and pissed."
The San Francisco Weekly
Much more coming, but it might take me a while to get it all posted.
