PRESS QUOTES ABOUT FS VARIETY SHOWS:

"My, how host Jason Grossman and the rest of the these performers of comedy, music, poetry and improvising have grown."
TIME OUT NEW YORK

"... And my favorite, porn-folk."
TIME OUT NEW YORK

"Jason Grossman brings together 20 of the best downtown acts on two (count 'em) two stages for night of vaudevillian debauchery." NEW YORK PRESS

"The show features a wide range of talent that reminds one of the glory years of vaudeville and of early cabaret when artists got together to share their talent with each other... I urge you to attend. You will certainly see some exceptional talent and more than a few surprises."
APPLAUSE! APPLAUSE!

"A fast paced cabaret show... Jason Grossman was genuinely hilarious."

PRESS QUOTES ABOUT THE FS GAME SHOW:

FUNNY... SHEESH Game Show Press Coverage

"Without a doubt, they are laugh-out-loud funny!
This gathering of quick-witted comics makes great comedy out of random words, ideas and articles submitted to them from the audience in an often hilarious interactive performance.
These guys are good!"
GOOD TIMES

"Endless madness... more surprises than the fat bearded guy in the mall."
TIME OUT NEW YORK

"Laugh, or else."
NEW YORK PRESS

"The comedy's good. The comedy's original. And, like in a lot of Improv, the comedy's dangerous.
The chaotic organization of the entire game show format, leave me pleased, pickled and prepared to go back, again and again."
REVOLUTIONARY WHIMPERINGS

"Smart and sexy... It was surprising to see the wealth of talented players that make up Funny... Sheesh... [and their] own sense of fun and their ability to translate that fun to the audience."
IMPROV REVIEW

"Better than cash!"
NEW YORK PRESS
