There is a popular comedy club here, located at the Radisson in Merrillville, Indiana. Should you ever get a gig there I would gather all my coworkers, cohorts and cohabitants to come see you! Judging from your Useless-Knowledge article (www.useless-knowledge.com) I would richly enjoy your witty but clean approach.  Then again, I may be totally insane.

-- Jed Renning, Morgantown, WV

"I think you rock Doug!"
-- comedian Big Al Goodwin, Alexandria, Virginia

"I really enjoyed your latest piece - it's rare to read such a well written, thought provoking piece that delivers such a strong and consistent flow of good laughs. You should consider working at an ad agency - you'd make a fortune with your quick wit and keen observations. Also, your homepage is AWESOME! I literally spent an hour navigating the site and going through the pictures! Your talent is amazing. Please let me know when you're performing. I'd love to come out and catch your act."
-- Van Whitfield, best-selling author "Beeperless Remote" and "Guys In Suits"

-- Julie Hughes, Denver, CO

-- comedian Mickey Cucchiella, Baltimore, MD

UdaMAN!
-- Kirk McEwen, co-host, "Kirk, Mark and Lopez," 98 Rock, Baltimore, MD

-- comedian Jeff Caldwell, co-host of ESPN's "Sports Figures"

"I LOVE THIS GUY!! Doug and I have been trading laughter since I can remember. Of course, my humor falls a little short compared to the next "The Late Show" host. There truly is no comparison to this man's talent, both on stage and off. I am proud to say that Doug Hecox is great friend and,yes, I am one of his biggest fans."
-- John Gonzales, Roseville, CA

You one funny mofo!
-- Kirk McEwen, of 98 Rock's "Kirk, Mark and Lopez" show, Baltimore, MD

-- Bryan Jacobs, Alexandria, VA

"Hey Doug, I'm fresh off the campaign. I arrive sometime in Washington last week. Go to work for the first time in 2 1/2 months. Get in my car. Turn it to 98 Rock (only station I listen to)... and there you were! You had me laughing. There were many favorite lines you had. But toward the end when you said you preferred women who were brown and from Kentucky (alluding to whiskey)... and then you kind of wondered where you were going with that -- cracked me up. Got a big laugh on the way to work that morning. You were a hit."
-- Jimmy Orr , formerly of the White House and now of Christian Science Monitor

"Hilarious! I've been telling a couple people about your set last night. It was by far to me the best one. It's hard for me to laugh at other comics a lot of the time, but that was not the case watching you last night. You were clever and funny as hell."
-- comedian Todd "T Rexx" Rexx, Los Angeles, CA

"You were great entertainment! I have repeated several of your jokes, giving you the full credit, of course."

-- Becki Arneson, Laramie, WY

"I almost fell out of my chair from laughing so hard. You're so funny!
-- Wendy Webb, Charlotte, SC

"I enjoyed myself immensely!! I can't wait to see your next performance."
-- Ani Balian, Washington, DC

"It was funny, Doug, because it seemed like people couldn't trust you - you had broken too many taboos and they hated that they had laughed at some of them. You had created a small underbelly of laugh concealers, people with their mouths covered and squinty laughing eyes peeking overtop. The one girl at the next table was guilty laughing like that through the whole thing. All in all, awesome, sick performance by you - your Elian jokes got the most disgust out of people and that's why I thought they were perfect.
-- John Ottinger (http://www.oddtoe.com), Washington, DC

"Thanks for being part of the show last night. I heard from many people how much they enjoyed you. One of the advantages of being the host is to be on stage while you work, so I got to watch the audience and you had them busting their guts! I would love to have you back on the show in the Fall."
-- Mark Ruppert, host, "The 11 O'Clock Show"

"I was at our Republican women board meeting last week and one of your jokes was quoted. Everyone surely enjoyed your humor!"

-- Keith Piirto, Laramie, WY

"I spoke with my father tonight and he has been enjoying your writtings. If you recall, he was born and raised in Buffalo, New York, and he has always been a big fan of Mark Russell. I'm sure you know who he is. My dad thinks you are every bit if not more 'quick, funny and intelligent' as Mark Russell. He is really regretting not seeing you when you were in Denver."
-- Frank Potter, Salt Lake City, UT

"You are one sick, but very funny person but I guess that's why I laughed out loud."
-- Justin Tillinghast, Washington, DC

What are the specifics on your book? I'd love to buy a copy. I think you'd be great at sitcom writing. As I was reading some of the jokes on your website, I couldn't help but think how easily you could put a lot that rapier wit into the context of dialogue and assemble a spec script. If you haven't done so all ready, you should seriously consider it. I'm telling you, your act itself is a made-to-order sitcom waiting to happen.
-- Jed Drenning, Davis, West Virginia

"Doug's approach to language is a breath of fresh air. The fashion-of-the-day humor of shock jocks and one-shot wonder comics has me weary. Doug's wit is comparable to that of Mark Twain. I hope there is much more to come: America needs it.
-- R.T. Moore, Rawlins, WY

"I saw your appearance on Country Music Television twice. Two words: YOU ROCK!! Very well done. I thought the rest of the show was a bit goofy, but your part was great.
-- Frank Potter, Salt Lake City, UT

-- Elizabeth DeVilleneuve, Casper, WY

"Doug makes me laugh...if ever I get somewhere in this business, I'm bringing him with me!"
-- Greg Lausch, stand-up comedian, Virginia Beach, VA

"Dr. Fun is one of Gridlock & Load webzine's most valuable contributors. Washington is a town that takes itself very seriously and rightfully so. But Doug is like a big carpet tack next to a "trial balloon." Thanks to his rapier wit, there's a lot less hot air in the Nation's Capital."
-- James Gordon Meek, Editor, Gridlock and Load

"I've known Doug since the sixth grade and he's always been this way."
-- Lee Walinchus, PE, Wheat Ridge, CO

"I've seen Doug's show several times and will keep going back for more. He's great!"
-- Tim Hart, College Park, MD

"A smashing display of descriptive fury. Mr. Hecox really knows how to keep you on the edge of your seat with outlandish humor and edgy wit. Two thumbs up are in order!"
-- Elliott Kieffer, Washington, DC

"Doug inadvertently sent us a tape with Dennis Miller. Doug puts Dennis to shame."
-- Rob and Krista Hull, Laramie, Wyoming

"Doug is very good. He had everyone rolling in the aisles with his hilarious comedy routine. I have also read his columns and I really believe Doug is extremely talented. Everyone enjoyed his jokes and, I have to admit, I can see him with his own TV show someday."
-- Doina Gulbrandson, Loveland, Colorado

"I can only stand envious to a guy with the writing talent that Doug has."
-- Michael Martin, Cheyenne, Wyoming

"He makes audiences laugh but, with his constant wordplay, I often find myself laughing at puns I didn't get right away... He delivers more puns than most people's brains can process! Doug Hecox reminds me of Steven Wright."
-- Michael Lansing, Sheridan, WY
