The Characters "Dr. Brown" Review - AVClub

AVClub: Dr. Brown might be the least-known of the comics of The Characters, but he’s got strange similarities to Chip Baskets, the hapless would-be clown protagonist of Zack Galifianakis’ Baskets. For one thing, the burly, bearded Brown (aka, Phil Burgers) bears a more-than-passing resemblance to Galifianakis. For another, like Chip, Brown attended a prestigious French clowning academy (the École Philippe Gaulier in Brown’s case). Brown (who, unlike poor Chip, actually graduated) has, also unlike Chip, gone on to substantial success, with acclaimed stage shows that partake of physical, cringe, and absurd comedy in equal measure. (It also wouldn’t be hard to see him starring in a show called Burgers.) His concluding episode of The Characters’ first season hits on all three of those traits, while pulling off an impressive technical feat at the same time, a comic juggling act (minus actual juggling) that’s as challenging to watch as, no doubt, it was to pull off.

Really enjoyed this though it wasn't quite what I expected after having seen him live in London back in 2011, where he didn't say a word the entire performance. But I guess there's no way that could have translated to television, especially as audience interaction was a big part of it. Either way I love his work and really hope this leads to him getting his own series.

Definitely on my watch list. I heard The Witch From Mercury is a must watch for those beyond being a Gundam fan.
