Phillyist Interview, March 2008
Philadelphia City Paper, September 2007:
In this hollow, maladapted age, celebrity - like consent - is manufactured; Meg Favreau and Rob Baniewicz turn up the satire-o-stat swiftly to a toasty "Wet and Wilde" intensity in their new show, Reviving the Lecture Circuit, and through absurdist alchemy reanimate the esteemed institution of cynosure disquisition. Meg and Rob portray caricatures of various celebrity archetypes, including politicians, lifestyle coaches, and television personalities, with relatable and hilarious execution. The duo's comedy finds good purchase on its target, and the shallow self-importance of the inexplicably famous shines in every moment, right through the relentless, pancake-saturated climax.
- Will Dean & Sean McPhee
