I really enjoyed it
"It’s a one man show about Maron’s two failed marriages and his own
role in the resultant misery. The themes of anger, addiction and self-
doubt run through the (roughly) hour long show and are reflected in his
inability to maintain a relationship. The show is entertainingly brutal as
Maron exposes, with what seems to be humiliating honesty, a series
of awful relationship missteps as a series of comedic stories..."

Montreal Just for Laughs comedy festival preview: Marc Maron
"One of the more intriguing and, yes, funny aspects of comedy is the
reaction of audiences. It never fails to amaze some how audiences of
all stripes don’t seem the least bit uncomfortable listening to comics
regaling them with ultra-graphic depictions of sex involving all manner
of partners – animal, vegetable or mineral..."

Live Review
"With more baggage than Louis Vuitton, this is Marc Maron’s tale of his
spiteful and bitter divorce from his second wife. But it’s not the clichéd
‘comedy as therapy’, he insists, if not entirely convincingly. There is an
inescapable feeling throughout this hour that he’s seeking, if not
‘closure’, then at least some sort of revenge or point-scoring on his ex-

Marc Maron proves that life always provides the best comedy
material
"...Scorching the Earth by Marc Maron is, in my humble opinion, one of
your best bets at this year’s festival and a downright steal at $15.
Painfully raw, brutally honest, and heartbreakingly hilarious,..."
