PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS

★★★★ THE EDINBURGH REPORTER "Barrier-breaking...inventive, sexually liberated (and liberating) one-woman show...cleverly conceived and engagingly kooky."

 ★★★★ ED FEST MAGAZINE "... cheeky and infectious. ...intensely loveable, painfully relatable humour. And her dive into the romantic story of how she met her significant other is almost as moving as her powerful message about bisexuality.

"THE SICK OF THE FRINGE “Raf makes a bold case for understanding how we are always all of our identities, and how these identities intersect, inform, challenge and support each other in exciting ways...pointed and important revelations about the challenging and absurd realities of the American healthcare system, Midwestern Jewishness and family, and marginalized sexual identities." 

THEATRE IS EASY Finally someone is bringing humor and—most importantly —normality to parts of the human psychology and emotional life that are far too often romanticized, or even fetishized.” 

NEW YORK TIMES HIGHLIGHTED AS “COMEDY IN NYC THIS WEEK” “modern love…sex, anxiety, coming out, polyamory, self-identity, queer culture and her relationship with the movie “Dirty Dancing.”

★★★★★ TIME OUT NEW YORK “The stand-up queen of self deprecation . . .LGBT Best Bet.”

EFFORT-LEZ "60 minutes of hilarity.”

HY REVIEWS “... a whole new level of comedy greatness. Raf delivers a performance so intimate and in-the-moment that it almost feels as if she’s revealing herself spontaneously...a star talent who demands attention." 

 GO MAGAZINE “In the midst of all of the terrifying political news out there, sometimes you just need to laugh it off. Mindy Raf brings audience members on a hilarious journey through life and death, polyamorous relationship struggles, anxiety, bisexuality, and sex positivity in her 60-minute performance.Raf had the audience in fits of laughter as she smoothly moved through her relatable and witty narrative of trying to figure it all out.”

AFTER ELLEN “…because now she’s going to have to breastfeed an entire population of adoring lesbian fans.”

THE PORTLAND MERCURY “Mindy Raf killed it as a crunchy singer/songwriter vegan lesbian chick (which totally doesn’t sound as fun as it was, right?)… a great character who nailed the type without edging into groan-inducing. She was a stellar surprise.” 

MIAMI NEW TIMES “Think Flight of the Conchords by way of Sandra Bernhard and you get an idea. Imagine a grown-up daughter of Tina Fey and Will Farrell had they both been born in the backlots of Michigan and you
might get another.” 

NEW YORK POST “Hilarious.”

BUST Magazine  “we walked out holding on to our ribs from laughing so hard and juggling thoughts about the objectification of women and the enslavement of vanity. No small feat.” 

NEXT MAGAZINE “But the real surprise was lesbian folk singer parody Leibya Rogers singing about how her tampon smells like freedom and how she wants Katie Holmes to be her girlfriend.”

LATENIGHTWITHJIMMYFALLON.com “Leibya Rogers is here with a very important PSA about W.A.P.I.A. that needs to be heard.”

BESTWEEKEVER.tv “If you tried desperately to learn Ani Difranco songs on the guitar in high school, had your heart broken at an Indigo Girls concert, or ever wrote a paper in college about the “male gaze”, you are probably going to love girl-rock activist/poet Leibya Rogers.”
