Additional brief testimonials about Joey Skaggs' presentations:
From:
David H. Semmes
Associate Professor of Communication Arts
Chairman, Lecture & Fine Arts Committee
University of Wisconsin
"Thanks for lending a completely novel, entertaining and informative performance to our lecture series. Everyone is talking about you today -- and I suspect that you will continue to be a subject of conversation for many weeks to come ... You are the friendliest (and most knowledgeable) lecturer we have ever invited to this campus."
From:
Marshall Blonsky, Author & Professor
The New School for Social Research
New York
"The great thing about Joey is that he always leaves clues in his performance so intelligent, sign-reading reporters can uncover the fabrication, but they never do. They don't read the clues and it just points out their ineptitude. These media institutions are charged with credibility. They assure us they are important and powerful, but they are so consumed with their own importance they can't even read his clues. His performances are really a public service. Not only does he try to keep reporters in line, he constantly warns the public to beware of all they hear."
From:
Terry Samuels
Assistant Director of Programming
Howard University, Washington, D.C.
