"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

- 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."

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.
