Very funny and most definitely very British. A very clever script. – David Hood

Great show, Y'all. "Tragedy is easy, ..." Keep up the good work! – William Lloyd Pearson
Thoroughly enjoyed What the Butler Saw last night. Well worth braving the freezing temperatures to see it. It was absolutely fabulous! Totally hilarious. Everyone was great in the show, and Caroline Jett stole every scene she was in. Of course the set was amazing, great job bro. The only disappointment was they... ran out of hot chocolate at intermission. Loved it! – Kim Smallheer
Jobsite's What the Butler Saw is absolutely fantastic. I laughed so hard that a trip to the restroom was required before act 2. Go see this show people – Spencer Meyers

The entire cast was fantastic. I laughed until I cried. Thank you for such a wonderful time!! I was crying!!! I laughed so hard and I was trying to stifle it so I wouldn't miss the next line. It was really, really good! – Peggy Walker Ehrhart

I had never read or seen WTBS before. It was outstanding. Farce is so demanding and you all excelled. The direction was terrific. I thought Brian's set one of his best. – Nancy Cole

What the Butler Saw is a hilarious raunchy romp thru 60s era sexuality, mistaken identity & madness. Go @jobsitetheater!. – Rene_Sanchez

Critic Reviews
"With the same madcap madness of a Benny Hill skit, the cast scampered across the stage in a titillating series of scantily clad romps, double entendres and miscommunications ... Jobsite has delivered a delightful comedy of errors." – Tampa Tribune
"One of the funniest performances I’ve seen in years... I can heartily recommend it to lovers of intelligent lunacy – and of laughter." – Creative Loafing
"What the Butler Saw is a blast ... very entertaining ... If you're not looking for anything more than two hours of low-brow entertainment, and if you don't mind the playwright's obsession with sex, Orton's play and Jobsite's production can serve up exactly what you're hungry for." – St. Petersburg Times
