ON HIS SOLO WORK:
“...writer-performer Jonathan Pereira has charm in spades - not to mention insight, a willingness to go deeper and an ability not to take it all too seriously... [he] doesn't use the cliche, or the reactionary, or the anti-reactionary, but he makes a very personal journey finding the universal in the specific while pitching to his audience as intellectual equals. His manic-but-unforced style, at it's zenith during a President-by-President ride through character assassination, creates a momentum that may just make you want to stick around for dessert." -- Time Out Magazine
"[Pereira] is a mesmerizing performer with a gift for physical comedy and the courage to structure a monologue in a highly unconventional manner..."
-- Chicago Reader
"[Pereira is] smart... he has a gift for interweaving personal and political comedy with unforced skill."
-- Orlando City Beat
"With all of his charming irony, the performance never comes across as too heavy and yet still communicates a thoughtful and critical point of view."
-- Edmonton Sun
"American Cake is a clever satire..."
-- Orlando City Beat
"...there's charm and wit here, and a fine physical comedian exploding on to the stage..."
-- Edmonton Journal
ON HIS PLAYS...
“…dark and humorous, [it] honors the poetry of Chekhovian writing… true beauty lies in its stylized moments.” -- OffOff Online
