​​“A night of laugh-out-loud, razor-sharp comedy … a four-person cast switches adeptly between caricatures, playing the comedy perfectly … Each joke is well-delivered, each situation mined just up to the ideal stopping point. A vigorous pace and a few twists in each sketch ensure that there are no repetitious jokes or pandering punchlines. It's simply sharp-witted comedy. For all that, there's an unspoken darkness underlining each sketch. Rather than robbing the comedy of its value, however, that unspoken something bolsters it. Maybe there's catharsis in this type of black comedy--relief in laughing about things we've come to avoid or fear. Whatever the case, I Am Your Masseuse shows that Shanley is in full command of his comedic powers, and that hardly anyone or anything in this messy human world is safe from being laughed at.”
