• -Dennis Miller, describing A bobbled ball by Chiefs wide receiver Derrick Alexander
|
• As everyone is by now no doubt aware, The Flying Karamazov Brothers are neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire...
...Marvelously skilled as they are, juggling is to them only a means: their end (and their beginning and their middle) is hilarity...They made me laugh literally till it hurt and nobody has done that since the last time Peter Cook and Dudley Moore played Broadway.

• Wild men who break laws of the universe.

• Tom Hodgson, The Mid-Ocean News, Bermuda
|
• They are mesmerizing masterminds of musical meditation and muscle and you mustn't miss their show.
|
• Maureen Peterson, The Gazette of Montreal
|
• In a sense, the Karamazovs juggle their audiences. The spectators respond with gusto. They come in on cue and en masse... It's one of the happiest and most tumultous landings of the season!
|
• John Beaufort, Christian Science Monitor
|
• Any competent juggler can defy gravity. Only the Karamazovs can make light of it.
|
• Tim Appelo, Seattle Times
|
• They are as nimble of wit as they are deft of hand and your mouth will open wide in laughter no less than in awe. They handle an audience as cleverly as the cleavers clubs, knives and other imaginable and unimaginable objects they juggle, and they are as playful and personable as puppy dogs with a hypertropic intelligence...
...Besides their lovely juggling, I repeat the K's are nice comic actors and this wholesome show should tickle equally the child with and the child within you.

• John Simon, New York Magazine
|
• When the Karamazovs magically make juggling look like a dance routine or sound like a jazz jam session, their act really flies.
|
• Frank Rich, New York Times
|
• Zany! Literate!...
...They resemble a squad of Groucho Marxists.
|
• Jay Sharbutt, Associated Press
|
• Humor, wit and impeccable timing!...
...The Karamazovs manage to generate more drama, excitement and pleasure than found in a lot of the stuff that passes for entertainment nowadays.
|
• Joel Dreyfuss, USA Today
|
• These master jugglers are hilarious. Drop everything and go see them.
|
• Gene Shalit, Today Show
|
• The Flying Karamazov Brothers - those non-Karamazov, non-brothers who've given juggling a new dimension - arrived on Broadway last night with a show called "Juggling and Cheap Theatrics" and it's pure pleasure.

• Judith Crist
|
• What can one say? There is "Oedipus at Colonus" and "King Lear," and then there is the mighty ouvre of the Flying Karamazov Brothers, who share with Sophocles and Shakespeare the distinction of not being able to fly, not being named Karamazov, and not being brothers.
|
• Brenden Gill, The New Yorker
|
• Their self imposed recipe of good juggling and bad jokes is irresistible to Karamazov addicts such as myself. I think they have a touch of genius to them...
...A marvelous mix of the Marx Brothers, Monty Python and 'Hellzapoppin!... A unique entertainment! You have to be there and you should be there as soon as possible. Catch it!
