JULIA DAVIS certified reviewer June 14, 2013
This show was extremely enjoyable. Not only is Alex Knox a highly skilled and incredibly charming performer, the story itself was very entertaining and quite poignant. What do religion, friendship and the music of Steely Dan have in common? You will have to watch this in order to find out. You will be surprised!! It is a truly beautiful story filled with great passions for many things. Check it out!!... full review

Alex has taken something special to him and made us special to us. He has given the fringe the gift in NO STATIC AT ALL. I loved every second of it. I came out loving HIM, his depreciation of self, his wind-ups to u expected outcomes. Revelation after revelation, he is in the moment completely and allows us to follow each step of his thoughts in this loving/living history. Thank you, Alex. I hope Josh calls soon - he has a true brother in you.... full review
APRIL WHITE certified reviewer June 15, 2013
Alex's writing and stage presence are super compelling, relatable and insightful. His artistic expression of our universal search for meaning, our relationship to a higher power and the exceptional ability of music to help us find meaning inside ourselves is as entertaining as it is authentic. I highly recommend this show to anyone -- whether you have any religious sensitives or interest in Steely Dan. ... full review

Alex Knox creates and tells a personal, touching story that everyone can relate to. Alex does it with heart, humor, and clear talent; a masterful job in every way from a Yale professional. Alex is an actor's actor and a human's human! Thanks for the great experience, Alex!... full review
ALAN KUCHECK certified reviewer June 15, 2013
Alex Knox delivers an exceptional performance in (no static at all). His crisp writing is delivered with exquisite comedic timing and simple, effective staging. In this tale of parallel stories of brothers and the search for meaning in life he brings you into a clearly personal, heartfelt place where truth is sought and revealed in vinyl LPs, where archaeology can confirm culture and belief, and whose irresistible draw doesn't let go. Not to be missed. ... full review
TIM CUMMINGS certified reviewer June 16, 2013
Music is really very powerful. There are connections to be discovered and explored in why we love the music, and the bands, that we love. Our lives, our relationships, are intrinsically connected to music--I've always found this to be true. This unassuming little piece explores that notion beautifully. Alex Knox, who wrote it and acts in it, is nothing short of intriguing the whole hour through--never for a moment did my focus fade. Effectively helmed by Becca Wolff, this is a piece that I hope goes on to have a longer life. Or, in rock terms, 'Expanded Edition.' Bonus points if you love Steely Dan. ... full review
HEIDI POWERS certified reviewer June 18, 2013
What starts out as a seemingly disconnected series of monologues evolves into a deftly-woven tapestry of music, religion and brothers from another mother (or, sometimes, what feels like another planet.) Alex Knox's solo show highlights unusual connections. Although I share none of them (no familiarity with Knox or his friend Josh, no Jewish family ties, nor a long-standing fondness for Steely Dan) I found myself unexpectedly drawn to all three, with Knox's storytelling continually pulling me into the story. I was won over especially when Knox lets lose in his life - and onstage - to the jukebox playing the title tune. In real life, he may have been watched by befuddled onlookers, but in the audience, it resonated with me. As with any... full review
BELEN GREENE certified reviewer June 19, 2013
Truly amazing on multiple levels as it's well-written, compelling and beautifully performed. Also, nice to see a one-man show that has no reliance whatsoever on "schtick" - this is simply storytelling at its best. Alex Knox is at once intelligent, funny and vulnerable. Do yourself a favor and go see it!... full review
MIKE SCHLITT certified reviewer June 23, 2013
A tale well-told. Alex Knox gives a remarkably charismatic and sharp performance. His story of a young man's search for meaning in life resonates with a simple honesty, humor and a great generosity of spirit. And who knew that the band Steely Dan got it's name from a dildo AND a bit of Old Testament History. ... full review
CHRIS FARAH certified reviewer June 23, 2013
No Static at All is incredibly well written, thoroughly engaging and thought provoking. I laughed, I pondered life, I acquired a new appreciation for Steely Dan, but most importantly I wish the show lasted twice as long, I loved the storytelling that much. If you haven't seen it GO!!!!!!!!!... full review
