“In ’Cats and Dogs Revelations,’ vermillion wraps big ideas in focused stories about her pets, as glimpses of her human family shine through like in a fan dance. With dark humor and heart she hits all the emotional buttons. She expresses herself in such a whimsical and charming way that I could listen all day!”
— Leona Godin, writer and performer
“vermilion is a wonder. She breezes onto the stage like a little whirlwind and clever dialogue bursts out of her like startled, chirping birds. Her facial expressions flow from sad to ebullient, enraged to shy as a rollercoaster of emotions shake her tiny frame and delight the audience. Vermilion is a huge talent, a diamond in the rough, and a very, very funny woman.”
— Rich Courage, writer and performer
