"Out of nine comedians, each of whom is given about five minutes, only one - the superb comic actor-impressionist Bob Nelson - shows an imaginative zeal that transends the mundane."
Stephen Holden, The New York Times


"He is neither anecdotal, satirist, joke teller or even truly slapstick. He is what I call a skitster. He creates his own characters and develops little routines for them. The kinds of routines that we all try to recreate at social gatherings. Skelton's Freddie the Freeloader or Gleason's Poor Soul.... Gleason is also a fine musical composer. Skelton, a fine painter. If Bob Nelson can sculpt, or cook, or crochet, superstardom is just around the corner."
Don Usherson, Las Vegas Review


"This man is the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade of Comedy."
Marvin Kitman, New York Newsday


"It is amazing to watch an audience hanging on every word, totally entranced by a gliding performamce... Bob Nelson is a world class performer"
John Blenn, Good Times Magazine


"More funny than the actual routines (and they are funny) is the realization of the crazed mind that devised these bits."
Bili, Variety Magazine


"Saw Bob Nelson at Caroline's at the Seaport the other night and have decided he's the hardest working man in comedy. He remained in perpetual motion throughout his one and a half hour show, running back and forth through onstage doors, each time emerging as a different character. A terrific show."
Hank Gallo, New York Daily News


"Truly a multimedia assault on the funnybone, Nelson not only relies on verbal comedy but visual as well. There's bright stuff here in a performance totally unfounded in reason but soaring on comic invention."
Curt Davis, New York Post


"If Bob Nelson comes back to town, it might be wise to bring a handkerchief to the show, perhaps even a change of underwear. The rubber-bodied, nimble-faced comic had 990 fans doubled over and laughing until they cried."
Chris Hamel, Union News


"Bob Nelson is truly a magical performer."
Philadelphia Daily News
