"Here is a man who is one of the most
talented impressionists in the country, one of the best comedians in the country, but most
importantly, here is one of the best live entertainers in the market. The results are
belly laugh after belly laugh touching on genuine pathos and with a most professional
overall impression. Given the choice, I'd opt for Fred Travalena."
