“Cute with Chris”: 50% Bitter

SWEET
Leavins’ droll act has a kind of muted beauty and profundity lurking beneath his otherwise snappy and amiable presentation.
Steven Leigh Morris – Los Angeles Weekly

BITTER
Representative clips from Leavins’ online series, including signature graphics that can charitably be called neo-primitive, make this a curious case of a stage show that apparently exists to promote a website rather than the other way around.
Phillip Brandes – Los Angeles Times

BITTER
To a Chris virgin like me, the more pressing question is whether this low-tech mix of projected images and goofy banter cries out to be on a stage.
Les Spindle – Backstage

SWEET
Gripes aside, this is a very funny show that is definitely worth a look. If you love cats or dogs, you have to see the way Chris manipulates the computer to bring out their best – or worst, depending on which species you favor and if you want to spend some time away from the daily problems of sub-prime loans, fire storms or people blowing up people, you can’t do better than seeing how pets can be Cute, with Chris.
