“Admittedly a surreal experience at times, this is absurd character comedy at its best and a far cry from the observational humour and stand up format which oversaturates the Fringe. If you are looking for something a bit different this year and are willing to suspend disbelief inside a slightly damp yurt you’re sure to catch a great performance – as a free performance its hardly as though you’ve anything to lose. Off-beat, intimate and sure to leave you smiling to yourself throughout and laughing out loud as the animal v human conflict escalates.”

“Davis adds distinct physical traits to his excellent characterization of the nerdy Livengood for a convincing portrayal of someone you wouldn’t want to be trapped in an elevator with. And, performing in a neighborhood bar in the Seventh Ward, Davis is to be commended for his outstanding concentration which overcame a noisy video game, an energetic jukebox, and some loud customers in the front of the bar. Violence may be a bit of a, ahem, shaggy dog story, but it was clever and well done.”

“For VIOLENCE, Davis adopts the character of Marcus Livingston, a professor of ‘comparative zoology’ and a fan of ‘Croc Hunter’ Steve Irwin (‘not just a TV friend, but a real friend, on TV’). Livingston [sic] has gathered his audience for a presentation on the impending war between humans and animals, complete with illustrative graphs, photos, and a lamb-led slaughter. Funny stuff.”
