"With tight writing and celebrity cameos, superb character actorPaul Downs takes the audience through a labyrinth of narcissistic andneurotic personalities...Nothing will stop them from succeeding. Thesame could be said for Downs."
- Time Out New York

"Like Julia Child doing Don Corleone...flirty and distracted."
- Lauren Collins, The New Yorker

"Paul Downs is an irresistible performer to watch onstage...soto isolate Downs in his one-man show, "The Paul Downs Syndrome," is toisolate his comedic mind and to display it in full, vibrant color forbetter or worse."

"So whether you get to see any of this wild and crazy stuff onthe boob tube may be just a matter of when and where...because I have afeeling we'll be seeing a lot more of Paul W. Downs."
- The Comic's Comic [thecomicscomic.com]

"Downs exhibited endless, contagious energy throughout the show,not to mention superb command of his material. This is no easy feat fora one-man act, but when you are funny and versatile, it’s hard to flop."
