"Pure joy ... One of the most dazzling displays of comedy theatre I’ve ever seen.”***** London Times
"Absolute comic genius!" ***** The Scotsman, Edinburgh
“It was antic, it was filthy, it was hilarious.” Frugal Traveler, New York Times
“Shenoah Allen and Mark Chavez, virtually paralyze the audience with laughter. Folks could be dying out there, unable to breathe between sobs of hilarity, and they would just keep going.” Globe and Mail, Canada
"Allen and Chavez's comic high energy recalls the edgy, manic talent of Robin Williams but with more heart and whimsy.” Chicago Sun-Times
“Wow! Mark Chavez and Shenoah Allen are masters of creating strange characters, jerking them through all kinds of hoops and having us follow in breathless anticipation of what’s to come.” ***** Vancouver Sun
“This is bright-eyed, bushy-tailed comic theatre!” **** (out of four) The Guardian, UK
“Think of Monty Python on LSD… call it what you will, in the hands of
these two Chicago comics, it becomes an art form -- seemingly the
equivalent of top-flight beboppers (Charlie Parker? Dizzy Gillespie?)
trading riffs on a good night. Pajama men (yes, they really wear
pajamas) are masterful comics working at the top of their game. Miss
this one at your peril .” ***** Times

"Whip-smart and able to turn on the thinnest of dimes, Allen and Chavez are improvisers' improvisers. Actors' actors. Comedians' comedians." Chicago Tribune
“Sheer hilarity” Seattle Weekly
"We can't recommend this incredible show highly enough. A sublime
combination of stand-up, sketch and physical theatre; the Pajama Men
aren't really like anyone else. With chess playing bats and time
travelling camels this is a sublime work worthy of Lewis Caroll. Truly
a wonderland of comic creativity." Time Out, London
