Astonishingly Funny
by Dan from DC on 4/18/25Gramercy Theatre - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5Troy Hawke is astonishingly funny and unlike any other comedian I’ve ever seen. Amazingly quick on his feet, he maintains a coherent and exceptionally idiosyncratic narrative, peppered with charming and often hilarious asides. Also amazing is his energy, which never seems to flag. In an era when most comedians rely on the frequent use of profanity or sexually explicit content, Troy rarely says anything that could be placed in either of those categories. His humor is derived from his genius: an astonishing command of the English language and remarkable powers of observation when it comes to the people whose paths he crosses. I made a special effort to see him on stage. I expected to enjoy myself, but his talent and unique act greatly exceeded my expectations. Bravo!
