Radiohole - Whatever, Heaven Allows:

• "I enjoyed it"..."you have to admit that Radiohole is a great leveler. It makes Milton sound like a Brill Building songwriter, and Sirk seem as on-the-surface as 'Melrose Place.' Culture don't get no respect from Radiohole, which may not be enlightening, but for a generation that's so over postmodernism, it is kind of liberating." - Ben Brantley, The New York Times
• "the fun has had a hyperacademic underpinning, shooting interdisciplinary references faster than they could huck you a Pabst Blue Ribbon." - Helen Shaw, Time Out New York
• "Reinforce their brilliance as performers, not just creators, and are aided by fair-weather friends Joe Silovsky and Mark Jaynes, who are both committed and a riot." - Obscene Jester
• "Incantatory and indulgent" - John Del Signore, Gothamist
• "Vigorous sloppy hilarious Radiohole, who put the fun, weirdness, wrestling, and beer back into downtown performance art." - David Johnston, NYtheater
• Whatever, Heaven Allows is "anarchically entertaining" - Aaron Riccio

Tom Murrin & Lucy Sexton - The Talking Show:

• Paper Mag chats with "Tom Murrin On His Magical, Ridiculous Journey" - Alana Levinson
• Check out the photos from The Talking Show's Opening Night on Getty
• Tom Murrin "has fascinating stories to tell" - Jerry Portwood, The NY PRess
