Meet the stars:“He hugs his microphone, peers into the intimately situated crowd and sets sail on a 90-minute one-man show that slices and dices his days as a professional wrestler with animated humor and unexpected sensitivity: fall-out-of-your-seat funny.”(Kenny Herzog –– Long Island Press)
“Stuns like a side piledriver” (The Village Voice)
“He is funny, prowling the stage and using his graying, 240-pound frame as a comic prop. It’s as if Spalding Gray had, at least for a few minutes, entered the body of Jonathan Winters.” (Microsoft’s Slate)
“The one-man show serves as a confessional of sorts, an exorcism of the demons one accumulates on the sleeper-hold circuit.” (Time Out New York)
“Johnny Valiant adds excitement to anything he performs in...he brings so much...he is awesome.” (Billy Merritt of Piledriver — Upright Citizens Brigade Troop)
“Johnny was always one of the most outrageous characters as a wrestler. Now, in standup, you don’t want to mess with Johnny.” (Fred Geobold, WBAI-FM Light Show NYC)
