Rick Shapiro
What the critics are saying
Best Manhattan Comic, Shapiro's approach to comedy
sounds like equal parts Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor and
Lou Reed. Shapiro is currently New York City's most
lurid funnyman - A real star-NYPress
Poised for the big leagues...searingly honest, the most
transgressive comedian in America today. He's
hilarious-Penthouse Magazine
Downtown New York provocateur Rick Shapiro debuts
with an album of hard-edged, uncompromising stand-up
comedy. Unconditional Love speaks universal truths
and exposes many of our follies.-Billboard
Rick Shapiro is bound for glory. He delivers an
onslaught of ideas at breakneck pace that will leave
your synapses spinning-The Toronto Star
His pointed observations on pop culture are pure
brilliance-TimeOut NewYork
Dubbed the "James Joyce of Stand-up" because of his
brilliant stream-of-consciousness comedy, Rick Shapiro
is a walking, talking op-ed page, spewing forth wit, grit,
and the real shit. If you like comics who take risks,
you're gonna love this guy-Paper Magazine
The CD, tightly produced by downtown performance
scene guru Lach, assaults like a twisted-humor
tornado.-Citysearch.com
