“Turton is a wonder of craziness onstage from start to finish…”

—Broadway World

“...Turton’s exceptional performance as the Maniac—a clown in the order of Buster Keaton or Red Skelton or an improbable fusion of the two...sheer plasticity of Turton’s comic genius and his boundless energy…”

—LA Cultural Weekly

“A mighty hard-working and…delightful Bob Turton is clearly trained in farce, ...he presented himself talking directly to us with the fervor of a stand-up monologist with attitude on cocaine.”
