"What a treat he was. A Zoologist by training and a comic by inclination, he introduces us to a penis fixated world. He’s funny, rude, clever and sharp. Some jokes were subtle, while others smacked you over the head. His descriptions were sharply observed, detailed and well-constructed. He builds gag on gag sequences that skillfully develop an excellent set."
