“The Birdmann’s unique style sets him apart from pretty much any other show in the festival. While other shows may blend into each other, feeding off the quirks and styles of their peers, there’s a sense that Trent Baumann creates the Birdmann in isolation, channeling the vaudeville of old to create a genre that is all his own.” �­-www.thegroggysqirrel.com
