What could possibly make me THIRST for Steely Dan in my life? Alex Knox. This man draws together a philosophically deep argument that brings together biblical tales, rockstar's lives and a lost friend to weave a highly entertaining story. There's no doubt that after following Alex's every move in this performance, you'll be enraptured into following his every move in future performances as well. ... full review

Here are things I now know after seeing (no static at all.) I know what a Dan Stele is. I know that Elliott Smith was actually a Steven. And, most importantly, I know what type of band played at Alex Knox's bar mitzvah. Good theater, good larnin' and good music - that's (no static at all.) See it.... full review

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

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
WILLIAM PALMER certified reviewer June 15, 2013
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
