‘You just want to cuddle him. The last time I saw him live I laughed so much I ended up with a headache.’
‘The epitome of dry. Wise and funny beyond his years.’
‘Few have been as fearless and as unpredictable.’

‘Classic American stand-up in its purest form. Eternally relatable, thoroughly enjoyable, and never for a moment mean-spirited.’
‘The restless pioneer. Still edgy, still insightful, still funny.’
‘The master storyteller.’
