-
This Guy's Just Amazing
By Angie Bulkeley (formerly Frissore) (Twitter: @AngieBulkeley)
“ONE PRETTY PEACOCK resulted in a new comedy crush for yours truly. Seriously. This guy’s just amazing. Recorded at one of LA’s best weekly comedy shows, the album features 45 minutes of completely original intellectual absurdity. Buscemi jumps swiftly from subject to subject, leaving a trail of laughter and peacock feathers behind him. Pick it up today."

This Album Will Make You Weep Tears of Joy
By Christine Horvath (Twitter: @BabeRoar)
"I love this album. One listen will make you realize this man has worked incredibly hard for a very long time to perfect his absolutely individual and inventive comic perspective. His jokes will make you think, and his unique voice and hilariously timed and brilliantly worded act separate him from the pack. Buscemi is offbeat, sincere and witty, a downright clever interpreter of the English language and an absolutely delightful mystery."
"ONE PRETTY PEACOCK is a spring-loaded jack-in-the-box of funny, definitely a keeper. I want to include more of his jokes in this review, but I truly do not want to ruin the utter surprise and joy that I felt when I heard his jokes for the first time. I highly recommend this album, especially for those with an absurd sense of humor."
