A seemingly chaotic but well-crafted hour of brilliant comedy. You will laugh, and you will have fun. You’ll probably also get spoken to at some point.
— A Youngish Perspective (5 out of 5 stars)
Ellis is a wonderful entertainer, a real funny man who deserves all the accolades he gets. This show is always selling out so don’t delay in getting your ticket. They won’t be there for long. 4.5 Stars
