Press Reviews

"Bogosian's gallery of crazy drunks straddles the social gamut, from a wino lying in the gutter to a coked up Hollywood talent agent. What they all share is their pathetic need to be 'special' and their reliance on drink and drugs to fool them into thinking that fantasy is real."

— New York Post

"A breakneck, hair raising comic tour of the American psyche."

— The New York Times

"Cleverly written.... It sinks its teeth deep into American and gives us something to chew on."
