***** “Hogg is a raconteur of the finest order, his mile-a-minute-delivery — think an amped-up John Oliver—tumbling out as he paces the stage. His vignettes are so rich with detail, you can practically smell them.” -Winnipeg Free Press
***** “He’s got a wickedly rapid, sometimes bitterly sharp, delivery.” -CBC
***** “Expertly written and performed” -CRITIC’S PICK, The Toronto Star
***** “Hogg is a fantastically engaging performer, sort of like if Ricky Gervais had more energy, and he weaves all his stories with brilliantly vivid descriptions and razor-sharp humour.” -Edmonton Journal
***** “Part Rik Mayall, Eric Idle, Eddie Izzard—hysterically tangential.” -Now Toronto
***** “Telling really funny stories is what Hogg does best. If you want to know how to take ordinary life and turn it into theatre, this guy is a master.” -Orlando Sentinel
***** “Jimmy Hogg is a master. He is blissfully, bracingly unafraid of transgression, which is the driving force of so much comedy. And he finesses his work with a deep understanding of the rich satisfactions of story structure and surprise.” -Colin Thomas
