4.5 STARS
“like a cross between Lenny Bruce and Dennis Leary with an angry smart guy vibe that is all his own”
(Times colonist, Victoria B.C , 05)

4 STARS
“Despite his rant, his humor never falters. Its not often that a comic routine stimulates both the funny bone and the mind. We talked about this show well after we left the theater”
