"Perky, quirky, and easily crushed on...Herlich...show(s) off her considerable writing chops....And while the adorable Herlich and Phillips zestfully enact a range of cringe-inducing scenarios involving bad sex, relationship dysfunction and emotional masochism, you have to admit: These two have terrific chemistry."
-- David Cote, Time Out
"Herlich is both a clever writer and a flexible, accessible performer...(she) captures the attention of the audience and the voice of her characters flows with perfect pitch."
-- Theatre Is Easy

"...Ms. Herlich proves that she is not only a gifted writer with the ability to create short sketches which manage to be sweet, funny and (yes) awkward all at once, but she is also a deft comedic actress who can play any number of roles, ranging from whimsical to deadpan, with equal results: an audience that finds itself erupting in laughter as one scene after the next plays out."
