Don Waterski Goes Up Nort'

Here’s a super fun show you’ll enjoy! Don Waterski (Jake) certainly knows how to entertain a crowd. There’s a lot going on in this show, including games, props, jokes, improv, audience participation, and it all works because Jake is a such a charismatic and skilled performer. I doubt this is the last we’ve seen of Don Waterski!... full review

Don Waterski is a great character brilliantly portrayed by Jake Kornely. The show is funny, his comic timing is impeccable and the show moves along at a nice pace. ... full review

So much fun! The set was full of so much whimsy, I was hooked from the moment I stepped into the theater. This is a show that not just anyone could do, hilarious, absurd, ridiculous, captivating! I was drawn into his world for the duration of the show and didn’t look back. He pulled all the audience into this strange world and took us on a journey I was happy to be a part of. Bizarre and brilliant. A must see for anyone who loves to laugh. ... full review

A super adventure through the woods! A very clever show built around a game of bingo. Very fun reveals and gags that often times reminded me of being on a Disneyland ride or something. It captured a comedic whimsey! ... full review

I'm still finding myself chuckling over this show this morning. It's a beautifully surreal kook-fest of character comedy with plenty of laughs and audience interaction. This show allows the comedy to breathe and Waterski wins us over early on and immerses us into his world. He reminds me of Mike Myers revealing in a character. I don't think any of us were truly prepared to go 'Up Nort'! You should see this show if only to know what dangers you might face in the wild!... full review

This show is profoundly silly, and I loved it! Despite being a Los Angeles native, I felt very safe going up nort' with Don as my guide. I laughed, I gasped, I cried, and I think--in the end--I might have even learned something: about life, love, and the great nort' woods. I for one can't wait for my next visit!... full review

Delightfully goofy and whimsical show with a lot of laughs! I had a great time and so did everyone in the audience. Wonderfully Interactive with a lot of surprising moments.... full review

Brilliant, imaginative, silly & fun. The likability of Don quickly put me at ease and whisked the audience off to a serene and danger-filled forest for thrills, romance and bingo stuff. ... full review

My first impression was "what the hell am I watching?" There's something so brilliant about what Jake has created with this show. It's sometimes typical to watched comedic shows that are extremely high energy and goofy. However this show takes MOMENTS.....beautiful, ridiculous, awkward moments and the audience is very much encouraged to be emotive and vocal throughout the show. In fact, Don LOVES it. I've never seen a performance like this one, and to be honest, I think Jake Kornely might be a comedic genius.... full review

This may not be a show for children, but it was still very sweet in a silly way. Worth watching!... full review
