Critical acclaim:
“The real magic of the show, Potter’s true miracle, is the secular humanist heart he transplants into the middle. With nothing more than cheap parlour tricks and a piece of fruit, God! The One-Man Show transmutes schmaltz into the sublime.”
—David Currie, Apt613 Ottawa
“I have seen God and He is hilarious! … Creator Rich Potter has put together has put together a show that both makes time stand still and move in a blur … it is awesome. Go see it!”
— Alan Viau, Ottawa Life
“…he recalls sweetly ridiculous late-period Robin Williams. At others he wanders into Douglas Adams territory, making winky-faced satirical points about human nature. But he is at all times himself, smiling, improvising ably … “
—Brett Abelman, Washington City Paper
“[Potter] successfully and intelligently blends satire, storytelling and variety in this wonderfully original one-man show.…an irreverent romp through the existential meanderings of an omnipotent being in reflection, whose most impressive miracle is the ability to dissolve an entire audience into laughter.”
Alex Doll, WDCMTA
Audience comments:
“In a word: BRILLIANT!! A must-see!!”
Sabrina P.
“Funny. Irreverent. Very entertaining!”
Dale R.
“Rich Potter keeps the energy and pacing up the whole time. His use of non-verbal content is so varied, layered, sweet and full, it serves as other characters. The whole audience bonded over his show. A rare find. Better than most shows I’ve seen in New York City. Thanks for delighting us!” — Miriam L.
“My stomach and cheeks hurt from laughing so hard. Great pacing…the whole show very fun, funny, and I came out with just a great sense of … being.:” — Dayle H.
“As a Pastor with 30 years experience, I found this show to be hilarious, pointed, warm, and full of (Divine) truth.” — The Rev. Daniel R. H.
“I laughed, I laughed some more, I even thought a bit about deep stuff… then I laughed again. If he decides make an appearance near you, go see “God” because it’s lonely in the void.” — Ann P.
“What a fun show! Highly recommend!” —Dawn L.D.
“It was a wonderful show! I was concerned that it might not be appropriate for my kids (12 and 15) had a great time. The only thing that came close to being inappropriate was “sh*t”. They hear far worse on tv. Everyone should see this show, I laughed until my head hurt and then kept laughing. It is a fun show!” —Wendy B.
“My kids, 12 and 15, both had a blast, too!” —Betsy D.
“I woke up this morning and started thinking about it all over again … poignant, funny, entertaining (juggling, magic, drama) — something for everyone. We plan to go back next weekend to see it again!” —Lore R.
“This show is literally a gift from God! Rich Potter is phenomenal! Don’t miss this one. It is hoot in a (mostly) very respectable tone. No matter your spiritual path, take this journey and laugh, cry, moan, and be astonished; all worth twice the admission price. I highly recommend this heavenly experience!” — Michael H.
“No matter how God juggles creation, he has a blast with it and you will too. Be not afraid (enjoyable for believers and nonbelievers)–you may be struck by laughter only. Laughter, juggling and magic, but the greatest of all is love–you will love the show.” —Susan S.
“Clever, clean, and fun!” —Philip S.
“GREAT show! Very entertaining and funny!!” — Mark O.
“Highly entertaining!” –Penny M.
Funny, witty, and got me thinking about the world we live in. — Kevin K.
