From Variety's review of "Q" Las Vegas:

"(John) Tartaglia... and (Rick) Lyon, who breathes life into the goofy Muppetish Nicky and the porn-loving Trekkie Monster, steal the show. They are one with their puppets as their gestures, expressions and dialogue are viscerally connected between actor and hand puppet. It's uncanny how an actor's glum look or bright smile can transport to the expressionless face of his puppet."
