SalonHeather Havrilesky
Wootton dips as far into darkness as even Baron Cohen, but instead of merely relying on cursing and butt thongs to create comic gold, Wootton crafts a well-thought-out narrative and puts a few props in place before he meets his real-life characters.
Read Full Review >Entertainment Weekly
While Wootton's alter egos--a criminally inept (emphasis on criminal) psychic, a struggling actor, and a scruffy documentarian wannabe, all new to Los Angeles--have hilarious moments, they don't show any layers beyond idiocy.
Read Full Review >The New York TimesMike Hale
While he doesn’t often inspire the helpless laughter that “Borat” or “Da Ali G Show” provoke, his quieter, more slowly building situations can have their own devastating payoffs.
Read Full Review >Boston GlobeMatthew Gilbert
A week between each episode is highly recommended. But in small doses, his shamelessness, persistence, and humor are remarkable.
Read Full Review >Wall Street JournalNancy DeWolf Smith
Showtime's new comedy series la la land can be torture to watch, whether you end up choking with laughter or cringing at the sight of well-meaning folks being made fools of.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles TimesRobert Lloyd
Wootton is a quick-minded, thematically consistent improviser who thoroughly knows his characters, and obviously something of a daredevil: You can get hurt doing this stuff, or arrested. But as in Baron Cohen's comedies, the cleverness of the star is too much the point.
Read Full Review >VarietyBrian Lowry
While Wootton's irreverent antics are sporadically funny enough to win him a cult following, the memorable moments ultimately prove too few and far between.
Read Full Review >PopMattersDaynah Burnett
Fittingly--and disappointingly--his fame-hungry characters don’t raise questions concerning politics or inhabit any realm of social interest; they are as vapid as their environment.
