• Thinking Theater NYC: Review: A Happy Triad: You, FRIGID, and "How to Be an Ethical Slut"
  • "An honest, often hilarious mix of solo show and cabaret, How to Be an Ethical Slut includes a few surprising reveals along the way, including a climactic one that doubles as an important comment on how we should think about ethical non-monogamy."
  • "McCarthy brings a great voice and an infectious energy to Valentini's story, and her choreography effectively and often humorously punctuates her musical numbers."
• The Young-Howze Theater Journal: Please catch Brooke's show and tell her we sent you!
  • ​"McCarthy has a dynamite voice and energy that fills the entire room. [...] This is one of the perfect examples of a fringe show: fun, engaging, and can be consumed like popcorn. [...] ​We hope this show goes everywhere."
• Visible Soul Interview: People You Should Know...Brooke McCarthy
• Austin Chronicle Review: FronteraFest Review: How to Be an Ethical Slut
  • "One-person shows can be tough sells, but McCarthy’s infectious energy is irresistible...What’s perhaps most surprising about this show isn’t that it’s funny or that it’s feminist or that it’s a rollicking good time. It’s that there’s a real message lying at its heart about love in all forms, be it polyamorous or monogamous, romantic or platonic or sexual, for ourselves or for someone(s) else."
• CTX Theatre Live Review: HOW TO BE AN ETHICAL SLUT by Brooke McCarthy
  • "She provides us with stories of her own often inadvertent progress toward becoming an ethical slut...the performer tells them with such good humor, mime, and comic timing that we suppose that they're very close to [Brooke's] own reality."
  • "Brooke McCarthy does make the life of an "ethical slut" sound like fun, and the way she pokes fun at her own naïveté is endearing. Her technique lets you imagine your own surprise at encountering such situations."

• Hartford Courant: Growing pains evident as Hartford Fringe Festival draws small audiences despite surprise and spontaneity of shows
  • "Since the bulk of the audiences are of the friends-and-family variety, the shows which draw the most people in the first place, have the largest casts or are more local, seem to have a leg up on the competition. Though some out-of-towners, such as North Carolina-based comic monologist Brooke McCarthy, whose “How to Be an Ethical Slut” played on the festival’s first weekend, bring serious self-promotional skills to the party that acts could learn from."
