Dave and Tom in Lester McFwap:

THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

- Rich Mintzer
"One of the most promising up-and-coming troupes..."
"The well educated, Monty Python-influenced quintet offers a more cerebral approach, bucking the improv-based norm with carefully scripted routines that move beyond the day's news."

L.A. WEEKLY

- Terry Morgan
"Surreal, intelligent and very funny."

THE NO HO NEWS

-Rick Parsons
"I have seen the future of sketch comedy and it is in very capable hands."
"Put simply, Lester McFwap (is) the best sketch comedy group I've seen live in Los Angeles. Their show called 'Hold for Incontinence' was some of the funniest written and brilliantly performed comedy I've seen live since Monty Python played The Hollywood Bowl."
"Clearly, the near capacity audience loved Lester McFwap..."
"This group deserves to find an outlet for their obvious talent as sketch performers and writers."
"Fans of Monty Python and Peter Cook can rest easy, Lester McFwap is the American invasion poised to continue the tradition of classic sketch comedy."

THE COMIC BIBLE

- Maryann Piero
"If sketch comedy is your forte, these guys are a must see. With their own twist added to a Pythonesque style, Lester McFwap portray the embodiment of intelligent humor for everyone. Always a hit, their collective goal is to make people laugh and I'd say they've more than reached that plateau..."

THE ENCINO NEWS

- Penny McGuiggan
"It's an intellectual, absurdist, and stylized comedic approach to some cerebral material...it works!"

THE AUSTIN CHRONICLE

- Marc Savlov
"By far the most intellectual comic entourage I'd seen in just about forever, the group (four men, one woman) relies heavily on the 'so stupid, it's genius' formula honed by early-seventies Brit-wits such as Peter Cook and the Monty Python gang."
"By far the most intellectual comic entourage I'd seen in just about forever, the group relies heavily on the "so stupid it's genius" formula honed by Brit-wits such as Peter Cook and the Monty Python gang...worthy of a gold medal for originality...inspired...a good time was had by all."

Dave and Tom in Beyond the Fringe:

LA WEEKLY

- Tom Frykman
Performing this stylized, absurdity material can only come from a labor of love, and the cast executes it flawlessly. If you shut your eyes, you can feel the comic rhythms of Cook, Moore and Monty Python.
