PRAISE
“Lightheartedly silly, sometimes deliriously so…Mr. Burkett is a benevolent god: indelicate, a little poignant and kind of fantastic”
—The New York Times
“From the moment Ronnie Burkett takes the reins of his exquisitely handcrafted marionettes, the audience is transfixed”
—Theatre Scenes, NZ
“For sheer entertainment that leaves you awestruck, that makes you laugh, that makes you cry, and that makes you think, go see Ronnie Burkett”
—Culture Spot LA
“Burkett’s mastery of his craft and the beauty of his handmade puppets makes the comedy funnier, the raunch raunchier and keeps the heartfelt and heartwarming moments, genuinely sweet and moving”
—The Vancouver Sun
“The Daisy Theatre is one of the best shows you’ll ever see”
—The Georgia Straight
