External validation that does nothing to assuage my own crushing doubts:
New York Times: “Strauss mines a great deal of laughter from disabling pain”
Chicago Tribune: “Arrestingly honest and howlingly funny” (3.5/4 stars)
Michael Pollan: “Brilliant, hilarious and moving”
Time Out New York: “Riveting…. A true-life tour de force” (Critics’ Pick)
Talkin’ Broadway: “A miracle of a show and a must-see”
Duncan Trussell: “A brilliant psychedelic comedian”
Adam on WNYC’s Leonard Lopate Show
Adam on OCD and psychedelics in Huffington Post
More nice things people not related to Adam have said about him
Adam Strauss’s work has been called many things, mostly adjectives. He won the New York Fringe Festival’s Overall Excellence Award for Solo Performance, The Eddy Award for Best Solo Show in San Francisco, and the Leffe Beer Craft Your Character Storytelling Competition. He’s lost too many things to mention here. He performs nightly at many of New York City’s best comedy clubs, and most of its worst ones.
