Ms. Beat’s wickedly morose humor has split the sides of many unsuspecting spectators, performing your favorite tunes in her own twisted way.” -- Village Voice
“A triple-shot barrage of twisted songs, barbed social commentary, and all-around bad taste” -- Staten Island Advance
"Hostile, lewd, and riotously funny" -- Time Out
