"Superb, cutting humor delivered with tremendous rhythm and charm. A joy to see a master of the craft at work. This is how you do it." —The Mirror
"No comedian has done it like Tom Rhodes. After proving himself as a top-tier American club comic, life and love took Tom elsewhere. He established a fierce international presence and for decades maintained relevance in both spheres. He is simultaneously both relaxed and hungry to conquer." —Miami New Times
