"When it comes to portraying a smorgasbord of freaks, perverts and social pariahs, nobody does it better than Paul Thomas, the man behind Paul Thomas: Comedogenic. His laser-like attention to character work results in compelling scenework that is hilarious (and kinda disturbing)."
-- Jason Heidemann, Time Out Chicago "...their mix of absurdity and plausibility makes all of [Thomas's sketches] funny." (4 stars) -- Time Out New York "Thomas bestows clever writing and supreme character commitment on each scene.” -- Steve Heisler, Chicago Reader |

Press for Paul’s post-grunge acoustic rock group LOLA BALATRO
"The music stands on its own, but songs such as 'Name That Panda' and 'I Got 2 Black Friends' will make it clear it's a comedy show." -- Time Out Chicago "It’s surprising to hear the three bad-ass looking dudes from Lola Balatro harmonizing to melodic acoustic-guitar arrangements on their self-titled debut. Even more surprising is that they’re pretty funny." -- Illinois Entertainer "...the musical hooks are so dangerously catchy, you may wonder how you lived without them." -- Trib Local (Wilmette) |
