5 STARS TIME OUT SYDNEY
"Kilstein's savage intelligence and razor-sharp wit will make you think as much as laugh...Damned funny. Working in the same sort of education-by-comedy mould of the likes of Bill Hicks and David Cross"
Andrew P Street, Time Out Sydney
"There are few truly insightful, passionate and hysterically funny political comedians around, and even fewer coming out of the States. New Yorker Jamie Kilstein is a shining light probing into the murkier corners of the religious right and corrupt politics of his homeland. Funny and penetrating, he’s taken Bill Hicks’ baton and run with it." TIME OUT LONDON
'If you liked Bill Hicks... If you think comedy should be about something more than just froth and banter... If you want to hear someone standing-up for freedom of speech and smacking religious bigotry and political stupidity squarely in the face... then this hugely talented American is the guy for you.'
