"Campbell’s ability to juggle a plethora of comedy styles, each performed with consummate skill, and get them working harmoniously in a tightly arranged show sets him apart...Without a misstep, he creates a superb example of how to craft a technically accomplished, winningly performed piece of comedy. With great responsibility comes great power and his superpower is to make people laugh.” – The List ****
