“Over the course of this brisk and quite frankly all to short show Jacobs and his impish infant alter ego Malfigliano deftly conjure all the horror and humor of our hilarious and horrific times. If you liked your mom's breast milk and know that Bernie would have won, you're gonna love this show!”

“Jacobs is energized, dynamic and fearless, using the show's improvisatory parameters to follow his instinct and lead with his feelings as he thinks through topics like breast feeding, "whiteness" and vintage Cup O' Noodles billboards. I guffawed, I was moved and I cringed more than once as Jacobs took risk after risk, delivering every time.”

“An imaginative piece by a highly individual theatre artist. I look forward to seeing it multiple times, as I am sure each occasion will be unique.”

“Last night of the festival. Last show of the festival. How fitting that it be this 2-act tale of self-referential meta-theatre. In the mask is a bombastic tale. Out of mask is a touching story. Together, they make for a damn fine play.”

“My pick for most intriguing blurb of the 2019 SF Fringe. Times Square room + a disease ridden cat = well I had to find out. I had flashbacks to Fernwood 2 Night because I could see Sapperstein as a guest on that talk show where you were never quite sure if you should laugh or not. I laughed.”
