Spock vs. Q is a playful, droll production that’s definitely worth a Trekkie’s time. I particularly enjoyed Q fangirling for Spock when he first appears on stage, and Spock telling him to get in line.
I would still love to see them in a true Trek setting, where the safety of the Enterprise or Vulcan depends on a battle of wits (Hey! Maybe Q can save Vulcan from its fate in Star Trek 2009!).
I’m less satisfied by their stand-up act firmly set in present time on a stage in front of a bunch of humans in which there’s nothing truly (truly fictionally) at stake—but I’m sure there’s a novel out there for me.
Nonetheless, I expect this was a fantastic show to see in person, with these actors playing off the audience’s reactions, and I’m glad an audio version was made available for me to listen to!

A very fun meeting between two of the most famous trek characters, Q and Spock. This story is mainly a comedic back and forth between the two. Non trek fans would likely get very little out of this, but as a trek fan I greatly enjoyed the story. The audio is the best way to experience the story, that way you can hear the actors reprise their roles.

A very funny confrontation between Spock and Q in a situation where the earth and the survival of its inhabitants is threatened by a large asteroid. I wish we could have had a Star Trek episode with these two iconic characters!

If you loved Spock and Q imagine what they would be like together! I listened to the audiobook which featured the actual actors and couldn't stop!

I could not believe how funny this was. I was not at all expecting it, a classmate actually asked me if I was OK.
