Critical response

"Folsom is riveting, even when the character he’s playing is revolting. ... Prepare to laugh, cry, or get pissed. Maybe all three."
- TheatreJones.com

"The Upstart Productions show, directed by David Denson, prickles and pounces... fury radiates from Joey Folsom in Paul Shoulberg’s Sick F**k"
- Dallas Morning News

"... Poetry."
- The Dallas Observer
