Quotes & Highlights

  • "What elevates Mr. Franken above your garden-variety comedian is an erudite wit and a highly developed sense of the absurd" --New York Times
  • "San Francisco has nurtured many of comedy's biggest names, and this guy is destined to be one of them." --San Francisco Chronicle
  • "Franken wanders through a parallel-universe city populated by hipsters who challenge John Milton to poetry slams and crass marketers of women's empowerment symposia, among other fun-house imaginings." --The Onion
