"The members of Le Petomane are among the region's most courageous and daring . . . the lunacy quotient is high, but it's also one of the troupe's most compelling factors."
-LEO Weekly

"The skill and energy of the ensemble is impressive,  but it is the cohesiveness on display that is astonishing."
-TheatreLouisville.org

"Every big city has a few hidden treasures.  Le Petomane Theatre Ensemble is one of ours."

"The thinking person's favorite performers . . . Le Petomane is the well-honed edge of cutting edge theater."
- LEO Weekly

"Fine, fast and funny...ensemble comedy of the first order."
- Courier-Journal

"It is a remarkable process . . . like a group of precocious, oversized children, making up an intricate game in the spirit of shared intensity and playfulness."
-Pitch magazine

"They move through the performance space less as individual actors and more in the manner of a finely-tuned engine."
-TheatreLouisville.org

"Le Petomane has superb timing and just the right amount of silliness.  They are true masters of their art."

"Agitprop vaudeville"

"Louisville's finest alternative theater company."
-Velocity

"Brilliant . . . exuberant..."

"Their work is ego-less and solidly executed.  They are devoted to the play and to their audience... Le Petomane Theatre Ensemble is doing good work in a necessary way, giving the Louisville theater scene something it has been missing. "
-TheatreLouisville.org

" . . . the best thing to come out of vaudeville in decades."
- Audience member, Spot of Cheese

"Viva Le Petomane!"

A Special Note:  
      The Rudyard Kipling, Louisville's finest small performance venue and Le Petomane's heart's home, is always in need of your company.  Stop in (422 W. Oak St., Fri.-Sat. evenings plus special events), have a drink, have a homemade vegan pizza, and enjoy whatever jazz/ bluegrass/ experimental kookoo stuff/ theater/ dance/ film is in the house that evening.  Keeping Louisville Weird means keeping REAL Louisville alive and kicking.
