Here’s what people have said about me. Sometimes it’s good, sometimes it’s bad, and sometimes it’s ambivalent—but it’s always about me, and I think we can all agree that that’s all that matters.
Heavy Times - Nut Pony Films, 2011
“Lauver, Evans, and Brunner make a great team. Their mumbling comments and reactions to their situations are spot-on and extremely funny.” - eFilmCritic
“The well-defined personalities and sharply mapped out characters allow the viewing experience to be far more meaningful in a genre where the comedies tend to be cheap, tawdry, and bong-obsessed.” - Holman’s Movie Review
“…the rest of the cast is nothing to shake a stick at either. The trio of friends are all great delivering credible portrayals of their characters. Wherever the directors mined their acting talent, they definitely found some diamonds among the coal.” - The Man-Cave
“…all of [the actors playing the three main characters] are surprisingly capable at bringing life to the subtle material they’re given to work with. They’re hardly dynamic but they’re not supposed to be and … I appreciated them from the get go… Hollywood would turn them into cartoons; here they’re real.” - Apocalypse Later
“The main characters are vastly overshadowed by the supporting roles. This is unfortunate because they seemed the funniest, even though they have such little to do with the film.” - Way Too Indie
Eurydice - Independent Drama Society - Boston Center for the Arts, Boston, 2011
“Adam Lauver evokes laughter and chills as a spoiled brat of a god.” - Boston Arts Review
“Adam Lauver as the ‘Nasty Interesting Man’ and Lord of the Underworld creates a creepy, childlike antagonist … Lauver’s performance fully encompasses evil and makes the audience cringe whenever he is near.” - The New England Theatre Geek
“Adam Lauver is predictably good as the Lord of the Underworld, tooling around on a tricycle in wonderfully petulant fashion. His darker moments are ideally awkward (especially as the ‘Nasty Interesting Man’), but somehow not quite pitch perfect- though perhaps it’s better that way.” - My Theatre
“Laughs come from Adam Lauver … Whether he’s on a tricycle or stilts, he’s absolutely hilarious any time he is on stage, finding the perfect balance between the quirkiness his characters require and humor that makes audiences laugh, not feel creeped out. Lauver has some real comic chops that I hope to see more of.” - Boston Lowbrow
“The production gets a huge boost when Adam Lauver arrives on the scene as the ‘Nasty Interesting Man’ who turns out to be Lord of the Underworld. Lauver brings enormous charisma to this villain, maximizing his creepiness through the precise comic choices that mark a great character actor.” - Blast Magazine
Romeo and Juliet - Independent Drama Society - The Factory Theatre, Boston, 2010
“Alexa Ray Corriea’s Lady Capulet and Chris Larson’s Lord Capulet are a vile, yet somehow likeable coupling, which is contrasted by Adam Lauver’s tender and side-splitting Nurse.” - Boston Theatre Review
“Adam Lauver portrayed the nurse to good comedic effect which is a departure from the sober sided characterization she’s often given and a reminder that Shakespeare wrote the part with a man in mind as the actor and with, perhaps, a broader humor than we generally are treated to.” EDGE Boston
“Adam Lauver is the comedic gem of the piece with brilliant timing as both the sniveling Lord Montague and Juliet’s busybody Nurse.” - My Theatre (review)
“[Lauver’s] hilarious and touching portrayal of the nurse won’t soon be forgotten.” - My Theatre (interview)
