Presented by Michael McHugh and New Century Booking.

“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)

"Funny Heartwarming, and very, very interesting. You had to be there. I did not see anyone leave the place for even one of those 55 minutes. Riveting- glad I was there."

(Gary Heiderich WTFO Hotline)

"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)

"The people loved Johnny. Congratulations on a memorable evening."

(Nick Oddo Documentary Filmmaker)

"Johnny Valiant is hilarious and entertaining."

(Nelson Torres WTF TV NYC)
