- The entire Cast of Play that Goes Wrong, and in particular Dave Hearn as Max. He gave some of the best clown work I have ever seen. He had a routine involving answering a phone with his foot that was one of the most technically impressive things I have ever seen, and his character's sheer joy at getting reactions from the audience was an unending series of on-the-floor laughter.
- Danny Burstein in The Drowsy Chaperone. Seth Rudetsky level of Obsessed with that performance.
-Bill Irwin as Scapin. Good god was that funny.
- Ann Harada in Avenue Q. The amount of realism and gravitas she brought to a ridiculous situation...every moment was mined for full effect.
- Mark Rylance in Twelfth Night
- Jeff McCarthy in Urinetown, 100%.
- Andy Karl in The Mystery of Edwin Drood. Asked to deliver a slightly uncomfortable caricature he went beautifully and unforgettably cartoony.
- Regionally, the good folks of The Troubadour Theater in Los Angeles have given me Asthma attacks quite frequently. Beth Kennedy, one of their regulars, is someone I actively fear seeing in a show because I know I am going to get completely shredded.
