a veteran performer with a lot to say, richard charms and makes you feel like you're part of his inner circle. honestly, he makes one liners look easy (and they're hhhhhard!). A delightful dude with charisma, passion for his craft, with a healthy dose of neuroses... you can't help but fall for richard. And you leave knowing, whatever role he gets, he's gonna make the most of it.... full review

Richard Tanner is an accomplished actor and writer. His comedy timing and intelligence, his emotionality, range, the freshness and intricacies of his story, and his pure showmanship make for a joyous experience. The mixed media, the direction, everything about the production was top notch. The seventy minutes went by so fast, I wanted the event to begin all over again. ... full review

I could not help but like this honest and personal peek into a career that keeps almost igniting.... full review
