"The Marx Brothers meet the Rolling Stones."
-American Theatre Magazine


"Culture Clash has developed a comic approach that examines cultures in flux and opposition, driven by an imperative to give voice to those who are largely unheard in America. These assemblages invite a deeper examination of who we are today. Their portraits of America celebrate and lampoon our national character. Culture Clash at once honors and debunks our self-evident truths, and they expertly hold up a fun-house mirror to our body politics."
-Tony Taccone, Artistic Director, Berkeley
Repertory Theatre



"A powerful aspect of Culture Clash's work is their use of humor as both salve and social critique. Their comedy is sometimes raw and angry, sometimes joyful and silly; it can be cathartic yet it can call for action... The members of Culture Clash are, like Hamlet's favorite players, 'the abstract and brief chronicles of the time.'"
-Antonia Grace Glenn, Theatre Forum Magazine


"Clowns can serve a deep and vital purpose within their communities, mirroring back those aspects of culture that can't otherwise be faced squarely. Some clowns have a huge responsibility--they keep their people honest even as they tumble and dance... Culture Clash are sacred clowns for the new millennium, the Mission-bred, Los Angeles-based trio of bad-ass Chicanos... are fearless, and they're working overtime to keep us honest."
-Lisa Drostova, East Bay Express


"Culture Clash is a national treasure."
-Philip Kan Gotanda, playwright


"These guys are funny daredevils of performance, totally fearless as they skewer convention and lazy thinking. Cool."
-Eric Bogosian, performer/playwright


"Wicked, observant comedy interspersed with keenly acted monologues that make your heart ache."
-Miami Herald


"Culture Clash seems an ideal name for a Latino comedy trio that simultaneously makes mincemeat out of American cultural icons and skewers the hell out of their own ethnic heritage--all the while showing the links between the two. This brilliant team of writers/performers offers artful, intelligent work that deserves the rapt attention of large and diverse audiences."
-Back Stage West


"Humorous, cutting and touching."
 -New York Times


"Just beyond the laughs, unsettling truths linger. The most sizzling theater in town."
-San Francisco Chronicle


"Sharp, cutting and on the edge."
 -Los Angeles Times


"Keep kicking them in the cojones."
 -George Carlin, satirist
