“They were waiting for closure, but the man didn’t deliver. It should have been expected – it’s not a thing, remember? But no matter how hard Keyon Gaskin tries to make his performance not a thing, “its not a thing” is somehow the most captivating thing in town. The only remaining question is what exactly “its not a thing” is.” -Jamie Hale, The Oregonian
“Gaskin holds together a deliriously bizarre persona, swinging wildly from demanding action on the part of the audience to desperately pleading for it, from posturing bravado to shaking vulnerability, and from slapstick to self-harm.”
- Thomas Ross, The Portland Mercury
