JIM PIDDOCK GIVES ONE OF THE MOST STUNNING AND DYNAMIC PERFORMANCES EVER SEEN AROUND HERE...HE IS BRILLIANT -- San Francisco Drama-Logue on "The Boy's Own Story" THIS IS, WITHOUT DOUBT, THE BEST THING HAPPENING IN TWIN CITY THEATER AT THE MOMENT AND IS NOT TO BE MISSED -- Minnesota Daily on 'The Boy's Own Story' REACH FOR THE THESAURUS, A DICTIONARY WON'T SUFFICE...PHYSICALLY, EMOTIONALLY, AND THEATRICALLY, PIDDOCK DOMINATES AND CONTROLS HIS AUDIENCE. IF YOU ATTEND BUT ONE SHOW CURRENTLY PLAYING IN SAN FRANCISCO, YOU CAN'T GO WRONG IF IT IS "THE BOY'S OWN STORY" -- San Francsico Focus AN EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE. TRULY WONDERFUL. PIDDOCK HAS A FACE THAT COMMUNICATES EVERY HUMAN EMOTION TO AN AUDIENCE. I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING QUITE LIKE IT BEFORE -- Alan Farley, KALW, on "The Boy's Own Story" PIDDOCK HAS A WAY OF EMPTYING HIS FACE OF AFFECT, A FEAT THAT SAYS MORE ABOUT MIDDLE-CLASS DENIAL THAN VOLUMES OF GESTURES...LATER, AS THE COAL MINER WHO "ALL IN ALL WOULD RATHER HAVE BEEN A JUDGE THAN A MINER", PIDDOCK STOPS THE SHOW WITH HIS DROLL CREATION OF A BORING, BORED WORKER -- San Diego Union-Tribune on "Beyond The Fringe" PIDDOCK BRINGS THE ART OF THE MONOLOGUE TO ITS HIGHEST PEAK. HIS CALM, SLOW, AND DELIBERATE VERBAL ESSAY ON 'SITTING ON THE BENCH' WAS A MASTERPIECE -- News/Journal on "Beyond The Fringe" "EARNEST" IS A MANNERED PLAY, AND PIDDOCK'S LINE READINGS ARE THE LEAST MANNERED OF ANYONE IN THE CAST. YET HE SEEMS THE MOST AT HOME IN THE WORLD OF THE PLAY. EITHER THIS IS AN ACTOR WHO CAN MAKE HIMSELF AT HOME ANYWHERE (A COMBINATION OF SELF-CONFIDENCE AND GOOD TRAINING) OR THE PART WILL TAKE A MORE DOWNRIGHT APPROACH THAN IT'S USUALLY GIVEN -- Los Angeles Times on "The Importance Of Being Earnest" PIDDOCK IS EXCELLENT HERE, PORTRAYING THE SADISTIC JOKER WHO DREAMS OF CLIMBING OUT OF HIS LOWER-MIDDLE-CLASS STATION. HE ELECTRIFIES ALL HIS SCENES -- L.A. Weekly on "The Caretaker" THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY PERFORMANCE IS THAT OF JIM PIDDOCK. IT'S NOT A CHARACTER YOU WOULD READILY LIKE AND PIDDOCK DOES NOT LOOK LIKE YOUR TYPICAL ACTOR, WHICH MAKES HIM ALL THE MORE VALUABLE. HE'S THE MOST MERCURIAL CHARACTER ON STAGE, LAUNCHING INTO RIFFS OF ALMOST ENERVATING TECHNICAL DETAIL. THERE ISN'T A WASTED GESTURE OR GLANCE HERE. IT IS THE ROSETTA STONE TO THIS PRODUCTION -- Downtown L.A. News on "The Caretaker" "TRACES OF RED" TAKES TWISTS AND TURNS INTO A FIRST-RATE THRILLER. JIM PIDDOCK'S ABLE SCRIPT MANAGES TO KEEP ALL THE LOOSE ENDS TIED TOGETHER, AND THE STORY NEVER MEANDERS AS IT LEADS YOU DOWN A DOZEN DEAD ENDS -- Richmond Times on "Traces Of Red" "TRACES OF RED" IS ONE OF THOSE LITTLE MOVIES THAT CATCHES YOU UNAWARE...A SEXY, SUMMER SLEEPER...THE MOVIE HAS AN ITCHY EDGE TO IT THAT IS BOTH UNNERVING AND MESMERIZING. WRITTEN BY JIM PIDDOCK, IT IS A SEXY WHODUNNIT...HE'S SCRIPTED SUCH A TAUT TALE THAT KEEPS YOU GUESSING THE IDENTITY OF THE MURDERER UNTIL THE VERY END. AND WHAT A TREAT THAT IS -- WWBT on "Traces Of Red" PIDDOCK'S SCRIPT STRUCTURE - WHERE THE CLUES ARE PLACED, WHAT ORDER THEY ARE PRESENTED - IS TRULY SKILFUL -- L.A. Drama-Logue on "Traces Of Red" JIM PIDDOCK'S PORTRAYAL OF TREVOR BECKWITH, WHO KNOWS EVERYTHING ABOUT DOGS BUT IS TOO WELL-MANNERED TO ASSERT HIMSELF EXCEPT BY FIDGETING WITH HIS PEN, IS A LOVELY STUDY IN BRITISH EMBARRASSMENT -- The London Times on "Best In Show" BEST OF ALL IS THE DOG SHOW COMMENTATORS, FROM THE EXQUISITELY MISMATCHED PAIR OF FRED WILLARD AND JIM PIDDOCK. IT IS THE DEFINING SEQUENCE OF A CONSISTENTLY HILARIOUS COMEDY OF MANNERS -- popcorn.co.uk on "Best In Show" ONE OF THE SMARTEST THINGS GUEST HAS DONE IS CAST FRED WILLARD AND JIM PIDDOCK IN THE ROLES OF BUCK LAUGHLIN AND TREVOR BECKWITH, THE MAYFLOWER DOG SHOW'S SIDE-SPLITTING COMMENTATORS -- Movie Magazine International on "Best In Show" AT LAST, A SITCOM TO PUT A CALIFORNIA-SIZE SMILE ON YOUR FACE. "TOO MUCH SUN" IS ABOUT TWO ENGLISHMEN WHO ARE FINDING IT HARD TO HAVE A NICE DAY IN HOLLYWOOD. IT'S AN ENJOYABLE CULTURE CLASH OF LAD AND TWERP, CHIPS AND CAESAR SALAD" -- The Sunday Telegraph on "Too Much Sun" A STUDIO INSIDER TOLD ME, UNDER CONDITIONS OF EXTREME ANONYMITY, THAT 'KENNETH LORING' IS AN ACTOR, AND THAT THE COENS WROTE THE SCRIPT FOR THE COMMENTARY. THIS IS ABOUT AS CLOSE AS YOU'LL EVER GET TO THE COENS RECORDING A COMMENTARY TRACK. IT'S ALSO ABOUT AS CLOSE AS YOU'LL GET TO A COMMENTARY TRACK THAT YOU'LL WANT TO WATCH REPEATEDLY FOR ITS EXTREME HILARITY -- dvdverdict.com on the "Blood Simple" directors' cut dvd commentary. JIM PIDDOCK AND FRED WILLARD PROVIDE THE BEST RUNNING GAGS -- Alexander Walker, London Evening Standard, on "Best In Show"
