‘Chloe Radcliffe: Cheat’

More than a decade ago, a Hollywood producer told me you couldn’t make a movie about a woman who cheats on her boyfriend or spouse and still retain the audience’s sympathy. The stand-up Chloe Radcliffe proves him wrong in this personal solo show that explores infidelity (her own and the subject broadly) with a refreshing candor and open-mindedness. “Cheat” finds a new take on an old subject while delivering hard-hitting punchlines.

Deadline / July 27, 2023

…Radcliffe chronicles a years-long pattern of infidelity in Cheat, a hilarious and sharply crafted one-woman show that she’s been developing over the last two years. By way of her show, she says, she could be “a pressure valve for other people” — for those who have cheated, those who have been tempted, and those who have been cheated on — opening up a dialogue and making people dealing with their own invisible struggles feel seen.

…In this regard, Soderbergh does tee up Anderson’s material well. Moreover, the stroke of casting someone like Michael Cera as Fealty is genius, and the piece serves as an excellent showcase for underseen, underserved talent like Wood Jr., Maley, and especially Chloe Radcliffe, who appears to be the big discovery of the series.

‘Command Z’ review: Steven Soderbergh’s surprise sci-fi tries to un-doom Earth

Maley, Radcliffe, and Wood Jr. do an impressive job of creating convincing bonds between the three mission controllers, keeping them at a professional distance, but making enough of a team of them to keep you barracking for them…

Over its short, succinctly scripted, and superbly acted episodes, Command Z makes the case for the power of changing one person’s mind, for the greater good of the planet… Actors and comedians Wood Jr. and Radcliffe lean into their topical late night show roots, as former writers and correspondents for The Daily Show and The Tonight Show, respectively… Essentially, if you’re looking for top tier political, social, and economic commentary on how fucked up the world is, this is the bunch.

…Chloe Radcliffe, 32, worked as a staff writer on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” has a studio comedy feature in development and most recently appeared in a mini-series directed by Steven Soderbergh called “Command Z.” On Thursday, she biked from Ridgewood, Queens, to Harlem to perform at Apartment Fest. She touched up her makeup in Levine’s bathroom and prepped her set from a bench in his bedroom, which was strewn with pizza boxes and was serving as a green room.

Best Undiscovered Comedians In America

Thrillist / October 24, 2018

[…] When Chloe Radcliffe is on stage, there’s a confidence and ebullience she exudes that suggests she’s been doing stand-up her entire life. In reality, the 27-year-old Minnesota native has only a few years’ experience under her belt with a background in theater and improv, but Radcliffe found a groove in the Twin Cities comedy scene, gigging around at spots like Acme Comedy Club, where she’s opened for big names like Dave Attell, and Comedy Corner Underground. In 2017, Radcliffe was named a TBS Comic to Watch, putting her feminist, self-effacing routine in the spotlight.
