"Ron Placone is a bright, daring, dedicated, and, most of all, funny
young comic. It was a pleasure working with him and I hope to do so
again soon. He's crafting a unique and powerful comedy voice, and is
destined for great things. Him be making ha ha good." - Jeff Kreisler (InDecision 2008, Comedy Central, Comedy Against Evil)
"Ron Placone's comedy pushes the envelope without losing the general populace. His cutting, dry humor will drive you into hysterical laughter while giving you something to think about."
