Testimonials
"What held the entire show together was Sarah Baker's performance as the emcee narrator. Bringing the perfect amount of clown to the role ... Baker moved through the fourth wall like a cream pie through a screen door. Masterful improvisation over technical delays. Wry crowd work that delighted adults and children, and clearly portrayed a respect for the audience and their experience. If it wasn't sold out we would've gone again." – Bela Hex, Coney Island
