What they’re saying about John Fleck……..

“Absurdly dynamic…..Fleck’s infectious energy and virtuosic performance still mark that (NEA) defunding as the true indecency.”- NY Village Voice

“The unpredictability Fleck wields gives his work power. He is all spectacle, dangerously close to an edge, both dramatic and personal, and he doesn’t let his viewers merely watch. He drags them with him to the sweaty, teetering reality of the brink. He is the foul soothsayer, the cross-eyed madman escaped from the asylum, a comic Cassandra, the wise clown, the derring-do brother one loves for the scary thrills he performs. He is the mythic truth-teller, and the truth is unattractive, no matter how desperately we wish to give it a media make-over.”
- Los Angeles Times

“Fleck is that increasing rarity: a superb performer with something to say”
- LA Weekly

“Fleck is a master at inverting the territory. He tests the boundaries by turning performance excesses and taboos into cultural commentary.”- Artweek Magazine

“It’s a brutal message that is emblazoned with hilarity as Fleck’s panache as a performer-comedian-singer sweeps the audience along a path of decontrol” - Daily Variety

“Fleck’s extraordinarily balanced talent allows him to prance, jest, serenade, rant, writhe and generally run wild upon a theatrical highwire, without any net – or any inhibition…Fleck performs with what can only be called virtuosity” - DramaLogue

“Though his natural sensationalism had definiteyly made him LA’s premiere provocateur, this electrifying actor-performance artist has talent which qualifies him for much more” - Exposure Magazine

“The script was so nakedly intense that it cut to the bone – the funny bone” - High Performance

 

 

(A fog roles in) Can you remember what it was like.. only 5 years ago? It’s all a blur-it doesn’t seem real-its changing so fast. Winner takes all. Finders keepers-Losers weepers. (Sound of a Trumpet) Emerging from the fog, a stunted middle-aged man dressed as a 9 year old appears, dressed in red white & blue spangled Leiderhosen, atop his prize stick Pony. Johnny’s got a gun and he’s traveling back in time to save the Motherland from attack, a bi polar Mother addled with Alzheimer’s & crippled with rheumatoid arthritis fighting to hold on to the ideals of a past she or he can barely remember.
