Side-splittingly funny. Not exactly a play, seems more like straight stand-up,
but who cares! The material is intelligent, thought-provoking and hilarious.
Demands your attention, and rewards you with laughs that stay with you even
after you leave the theater.

It's not just stand-up, but even if it were it would still deserve 5 stars.
The writing is intelligent and clever. The performance is tight and at a
frenetic, almost Robin Williams-esque, pace.

Brilliant, hilarious, smart but really a stand up comedy routine, rather
than a play. But still a great performance that does make you think, too!
Loved it...

When Tabetha Wells of Slap Happy Toronto asked me to put this brother up
for Fringe in my home I was cool about it...but I did not know him. "What
if this cat sucks?" I thought. Will I be wiping down my house from
the funk of unfunny for months afterwards? Well, I was wrong. Fear of A
Brown Planet is one hell of a smart, witty talented show. I'm not saying
this because he is sitting inches away watching The Running Man on Television
with my husband. The man is very talented and this show is a must see. I'm
glad he is here in San Francisco with his show. As he would say "He
earned his stripes"

Is it theater? or stand-up comedy? Well, it definitely veers towards the
latter, but that shouldn't keep you away. Nile is funny and charismatic
and keeps you laughing the whole show. He even makes you think a little,
between the guffaws.

A stronger beginning and had me laughing the first 15 minutes or so,
typical in the stand-up comic wanderings between subjects but he keeps it
together and on more of a path than a typical stand-up set. However it loses
momentum, especially toward the end, and gets into racism info that's more
basic (good for some.) A little longer than it needed to be, but impressive
that a stand-up comic put together this long of a set. Note: it's not just
a stand-up routine.

Awesome! I've never been to anything so funny yet that kept me on my toes
thinking so fast. Nile is amazing!

"Fear of a Brown Planet" is an energetic and hilarious show that
deliberately explores the border between stand-up comedy and a one-man play.
Clever and insightful observations on race relations and the battle of the
sexes are sugar-coated in a very funny, rapid-fire delivery. Highly recommended.

Nile Seguin's show is raw, fearless, and absolutely brilliant. Incredibly
shrewd writing that cuts not just to but through the bone, and a very high-energy,
polished performance. See this early, because you'll want to see it again. |
