Press Reviews

"There is no more entertaining show in town right now than Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa's BASED ON A TOTALLY TRUE STORY.“ —New York Daily News. ”A brisk and breezy new comedy…Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa deftly weaves narrative, structure, and talk together into a supple flow…There's plenty of bittersweet truth to this contemporary look at love getting lost in the hustle of forging a career.“ —The Star-Ledger (NJ). ”…a promising personal-growth comedy about a young writer on the verge of his first big break and his first big break-up…[Aguirre-Sacasa] has a bam-pow rhythm and a jaunty way with the overlapping forces of emotional contradiction.“ —Newsday (NY). ”No laugh meter could measure the laughter here; it would require a seismograph. Some of the jokes may work better for insiders, but against such a no-holds-barred farce there can be no holdouts."
