"Closing up Shop" "This commercial for Dairy Management Inc. was - hands down - the year's funniest and smartest. With great special effects and sharp editing, Closing Up Shop showed what happens to a hapless man (Jonathan Browning) who seeks to gain entry to a cheese shop after the proprietress has closed for the day. The failed attempt lands him in police custody and forces him to endure the humiliation of posing for a mug shot, during which he utters the spot's brilliant coda - the word familiar to amateur photographers everywhere. Yep, that's right. 'Cheese.' A masterpiece." - Chicago Sun Times |

Coed Prison Sluts "Particularly good at off-the-cuff silliness is Jonathan Browning as Hamster Man. Browning is especially fun to watch because he so clearly enjoys the chaos and wackiness on stage." - - Backstage West, Los Angeles |
Strangulation...and Other Games We Play "Especially provocative is Jonathan Browning’s solo turn as Barney in 'Between Maude & Mother Earth'. He gently and subtly finds the character's rich soul." - Chicago Reader
