| "...writer-performer Jonathan Pereira has charm in spades - not to mention insight, a willingness to go deeper and an ability not to tae 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 zentih during a President-by-President ride through character assassination, creates a momentum that may just make you want to stick around for dessert." "[Pereira] is a mesmerizing performer with a gift for physical comedy and the courage to structure a monolgue in a highly unconventional manner..." "[Pereira is] smart... he has a gift for interweaving personal and political comedy with unforced skill." "With all of his charming irony, the performance never comes across as too heavy and yet still communicates a thoughtful and criticl point of view." "American Cake is a clever satire..." "...there's charm and wit here, and a fine physical comedian exploding on to the stage..." ====================================================== Latest audience comments:"A wonderful, heartfelt, and thought provoking singular vision of America with a great solo performance." - Daniel, NYC "I thought that this show was not only witty and inciteful but amazingly funny... As a performer he knows how to connect with the audience and keep them laughing, but his writing ability is also second to none. I can't wait to see what he pulls out of his hat next. Bravo on a phenomenal performance." - Dan, NYC "Terrific. The recurring themes of cake, love, hate, patriotism, kept looping back on themselves and by the end created a neat little package that was quite moving." - Cliff, NYC "Fast paced and well written commentary... you are a very funny man... It's hard to keep me interested in a one-man show, but you pulled it off nicely." -- Todd, Minneapolis "What a great show! His storytelling is captivating and his intense monolgue about the Presidents is moving. He injects politacl and cultural satire abou the American Way of Life so seemlessly in his personal life narrative, it felt like being slapped in the face and not knowing wht hit you." - Michael, Minneapolis "Well written, entertaining and thoughtful... [Pereira is] delightful with an infectious sense of humor and keen insights. Go see it! - Richard, Minneapolis
