His show is more than just funny it’s transformational and connects people!” — Fox TV \n“Better than any fiction. Stories were genuine…yet unbelievable. I didn’t want the show to end so I’m going again and again.” — The Wall Street Journal \n“One of the quickest comedy minds in engaging the audience that I’ve ever seen\, surpassed only by his personal and observational razor sharp\, socially relevant material. All of this makes Paul a COMPLETE comedy package and one of the smartest\, most unique and hilarious comics working today.”  \n— The New York Post
