“Spins hilarity out of words.” – The New York Times
“Like sketches for some hilarious, celestially conceived revue. The writing is not only very funny, it has density of thought and precision of poetry... All in the Timing is by a master of fun. David Ives spins hilarity out of words.” – The New York Times
