"One of the great and unique performers of our time - of any old time...I do hate to call it "clowning" when in fact he's no more clown than Chaplin, Keaton, Harpo Marx or Danny Kaye...HOYLE raises clowning to new heights, achieving a nongravitational state of airborne brilliance, reinventing, refining and blending mimicry, mime and monologue, maybe magic, so seamlessly devised." -SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE "The work of an uncommon Artist in peak form." -LOS ANGELES
