ROBERT WILL SHOW YOU THE DOOR

Fresno Rogue Festival 3/24

“ Susan Jeremy delivers a downright funny memoir in “ Robbert Will Show You the Door ( Tales of Being Fired ),” offering a twisty career journey recognized by anyone who had morphed through multiple professions. Through laugh -out -loud anecdotes, Jeremy shares her coming of age journey, seemlessly embodying various characters as she reflects on her career journey,from grade school aspirations to fast food to stand-up comedy and to teaching in a psych ward.

Jeremy has a natural stage presence and her character skills are superb, filling out the world of New York City and Los Angelos without the need of added theatricality. The show’s structure is cleverly simple and leaves room for more drollery than one might expect from most resumes. While this may come across as a run-of-the-mill personal narrative show, Jeremy’s skill with the character-driven narrative and with landing a punchline makes it a must-see for anyone seeking a funny storytelling experience. “ - Munroereview.com

Winnipeg Free Press 7/23

Susan Jeremy, A New York Comedian ( and babysitter and chip-chop cleaner and horse-track labourer and one-time clown and many other things), brings her lengthy resume to life in this one-woman show. As the title indicates, Jeremy gets fired. A lot. Each formative event is shared with the full cast of characters in attendance. Although the 60-minute monologue is a solo endeavour, bosses, co-workers, customers —and even Joan Rivers —appear on stage fully -formed thanks to the actor’s masterful impressions.

The lightening and audio are minimal and well-timed, adding to the show’s effectively simple staging. When you can impersonate all of New York City, set decoration is unnecessary. this engaging ,coming of age memoir takes some surprising twist but arrives at a satisfying conclusion. Just as God intended.

4 stars- Eva Wasney
