ON FEAST OF FOOLS
"it's simply wonderful. It hardly seems
necessary to point out what you will be, should you fail to get
tickets." -David Richards, Washington Post
'The work of an uncommon artist in peak form"
-Sylvie Drake, Los Angeles Times
"You leave the theater uplifted by great
comedy, feeling you've been in the presence of a great comic genius.
I could feast on this fool every night of the week." -Bernard
Weiner, San Francisco Chronicle
"If there Is a funnier one-man show
making the rounds it would probably be wise, for the sake of health,
to avoid it. But then it is not likely -- almost not even conceivable
-- that there could be a funnier show. Hoyle is directly responsible
for such ailments as aching ribs, light-headedness and a mildly
sore throat, all the result of a little less than two hours of laughter.
Practically non-stop and loud laughter. He's a comedic treasure,
is Geoff Hoyle, and to miss him in action would be, well, quite
foolish." -Bill Hagen, San Diego Tribune
'This merrily outrageous look at fools has
to be regarded as one of the most crackingly fun events in current
theater." -Peter Stack, San Francisco Chronicle
"There is surely no more brilliant clown
working the world's stages today. -Roger Downey, Seattle Weekly
ON GEOFF HOYLE
"Breathtaking virtuosity." -Cathleen
McGuigan, Newsweek
"Geoff Hoyle is one of the most daring
and reckless of solo performers working. Hoyle's lunatic energy
and glib English charm is a potent combination: you feel he's capable
of spinning out of control at any moment and knowing just what he's
doing in the process. There's a calculated intentional madness to
his art. Hoyle is a genuine original." -Steven Winn, San
Francisco Chronicle
"Mr. Hoyle would not be out of character
in the Monte Python company. He is a fervidly expressive clown-
an artful pratfaller and prankster." -Mel Gussaw, New York
Times
"A brilliant physical comedian; an acrobat
as well as a clown." -Dan Sullivan, Los Angeles Times
"Mr. Hoyle tunneled like an unerring
mole through all kinds of daft physical challenges, moving with
extraordinary acuity and expressiveness in mime that recalled the
most gifted silent screen and vaudeville comics." -Jennifer
Dunning, New York Times
"Hoyle is a constant delight...His delivery
is a testament to virtuoso acting skill. His display of physical
comedy recall Buster Keaton and Jacques Tati. Each performance Is
a new canvas. It's like a dream of vaudeville, recollections of
the Good Old Days made flesh. If you have never seen him work you
should do so. Period." -Robert Hurwitt, San Francisco Examiner
"One of the funniest people alive."
-Oakland Tribune
"Hoyle's artistry is breathtaking."
-The Washington Post
"One of the great and unique performers
of our time - of any old time...I do hate to call it "clowning"
when in fact he's no more clown than Chaplin, Keaton, Harpo Marx
or Danny Kaye...HOYLE raises clowning to new heights, achieving
a nongravitational state of airborne brilliance, reinventing, refining
and blending mimicry, mime and monologue, maybe magic, so seamlessly
devised." -SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
"The work of an uncommon Artist in peak
form." -LOS ANGELES TIMES
